They probably didn’t go in the same way they will be brought out. When the water started rising they had to keep going in any direction that would take them to a dry area.

So tourists regularly go underground, squeeze through passages too small for children and work hours to go 3 miles underground? For what???

Deemed safe by morons. Much like the tourists who will jump from a 200 foot bridge on a bungee cord spec’d and rigged by some 18 year old pot smoking local in a shithole country.

She deserves a visit.
Of course, *crickets* from @realDonaldTrump because he has zero empathy. #ThaiCaveRescue

There wasn’t a long enough tube to run air to the boys. That’s why they’re having to bring in canisters.

The cave is a tourist attraction with paths, stairs and handrails. It wasn’t raining when they went in but flash floods happen... in a flash. They had no idea when they went in. Nature happens.

A few years ago, I drove over to pick up someone and made a quick turnaround to drive home. The sun was shining and not a cloud in the sky though it had rained the day before. Half an hour later and almost home but bam! the water suddenly rushed down from the hills and we were cut off in a flash flood.

I can’t blame the coach. The boys’ parents aren’t blaming him.

Well then, I guess everything is cool.

All I know from observing "rain events" for at least 60 years, I would have tried to MAKE SURE that there was quite a minimal chance of THAT "rain event" before allowing these kids to enter the cave for really NO great reason.

Agenda-Free TV just commented on Trump’s 1st Tweet having been Tweeted about by a supposed non-political local.
