A salute to the diver who lost his life in the rescue. Hopefully his will be the only life lost.

Am I the only one wondering why on earth the coach let the team go into this cave so deeply? And how did they get beyond the small curve that they are having so much trouble traveling now? Will the coach be charged with negligence?

It wasn’t full of water when they went through the choke point.

Officials had said before restarting the efforts that they hoped to have all the others in the cave rescued by the end of Monday local time...

At 1 PM Eastern, it will be Tuesday in Thailand.

I wonder how they would ever have known to go thru that choke point to begin with. If it had even a small amount of water in it, it would appear as a puddle to them, leading to an abyss if anything. I suppose the alternative towards where they came from looked as frightening as where they were about to go.

Good questions. I think the coach was negligent, but not sure if he’ll be charged for this. If anything he just made a dumb decision. It just had so much consequence for it.

Soon to be a TV movie, betcha!

It will be based on the reported realities, but (again, betcha) there will be a female of color who overcomes some major male-caused adversity to force a different rescue scheme on the rescue team; and...

(cough, cough) "Climate change" will be the overall culprit, and it will still be PDJT's fault.

No takers?

He probably won’t be charged, but he may end up wishing he was in police custody before its all over.

He will be the last one out for sure.

But you have to ask what the parents were thinking too. Even expert spelunkers understand that going into caves is dangerous.

It is extremely easy to get disoriented in a pitch-black cave.

Plus, the coach is relatively inexperienced: he's only 25. The (front end of the) cave system is a very popular tourist and kids-adventure spot, and he might have thought it was safer than it turned out to be.

I suppose the coach's thinking was, "It's filling up with water behind us (from the sudden monsoon rain)--- the only way we can go is forward." Even if they're squirming through a passage as narrow as a coffin.

My God. Please Lord, keep the trapped people safe. Them, and their rescuers.

When liberals try to put today’s standards on things that were accepted 150 years ago we object. When traditions that go on in a third world country happen, we can’t apply our standards to them either.

Sounds like all you need to do is write a script. You probably got a winner on your hands.

“...”Climate change” will be the overall culprit...”

The climate changed alright. From dry to wet! They have a narrow window of opportunity to get them out before all hell breaks loose.
