Liz, this wasn’t the first time they’d gone to the cave. It was a common thing for them to do. What they didn’t count on was the sudden rain. I hold the coach blameless.
Prayers for all concerned.
There were signs posted outside the cave to not enter during monsoon season. It is monsoon season. The coach (assistant) disregarded the warning.
