That's quite good and exciting, but I must ask:

Who had the idea that going into this cave was a good idea? How many times has this been done before? I heard it was an "initiation" of some sort for their scout unit. Could that be true?

3 miles underground? They had to work to get there,it wasn’t a lark. How is it the openings are so small to squeeze through when they are thinner but they got through when bigger? This coach caused all this.

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.
