“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?”
Go outside today, and then imagine that weather all year long. I suspect that caves are the only cool place in the country that kids can hike around, and also not get bit up.
Obviously what happened here will get a thorough review and who knows, maybe they’ll set up a drainage system so the caves can’t flood. In any case, had the kids not gotten caught there, they likely would have had great memories to last a lifetime...just bad luck this time.
Bad luck would have been had the coach not taken them to higher ground to escape the flash flooding....or they’d be having 13 funerals today! Those kids couldn’t swim!
