That’s the article I posted (see the authors from USA Today).

Took a lot of time cutting and pasting. I need to find that list of prohibited publishers.

Never mind;(

I can’t help but to think that if this happened in America these kids would be out by now.

This rescue is a tragedy of errors. They were also saying that they would “wait out the weather” and possibly send them food and air while waiting “over a month” to pull them out.

this is ridiculous. But looking around Thailand this is all their people are capable of.

The Thai govt and military have been working this for almost two weeks now. Somehow this feels like an over exaggeration of minor goof on some reporters part, if not just fake news.

About a 1 1/2 miles underwater with poor visibility.

“This rescue is a tragedy of errors.”

You have inside info not reported?

They are what — on a ledge. So partially dry. With plenty of water around. Probably some light since they have been reached from the outside. If nothing more let some boys tread water or work on it, practice breathing techniques, etc — their life does depend on it.

How long were the Chilean miners trapped? It took months if I recall for the best drillers in the world to get to them.

Considering the type of cave (small narrow passages) and the annual precip in that region and that its monsoon season, I’d say the rescuers have been doing pretty good. They might be able to drill for them, but there is as likely a chance that by drilling that they collapse the very cave they are taking refuge in. The earth may not be as stable as the deep bedrock the Chilean miners were buried under.

Thailand, as you note, is not a wealthy country. But they are not in the $h1th0le category either.

It could keep their minds off their dilema to some extent — something to do — plenty of time.

If Tony was there they would have to Bleep everything he says.

They need that guy from Bering Sea Gold, Steve Pomrenke.
