This tells a bit about some of the crazy dangers they could face. It seems similar to what’s happening now.
Except these were all pro’s, and Thailand is dealing with kids.
Good grief, I just skimmed that but it’s amazing.
I’m sure one of the problems is even if they give these boys rudimentary training, they are small and still at risk of hypothermia and panicking if they try to get out underwater.
WOW!
Thank you for posting that article.
Many years on rock and ice, I’m not attracted to caves but many climbers are.
I can still recall from back in the early 1970’s when a friend was telling of his recent bit of caving that involved a ‘sump’. I had to ask what it was.
Who would be the first to determine that it is, in fact, a sump, not simply a one-way death trap?
For me this akin to the rat cages from Orwell’s”1984”.
An ultimate fear.
