So they don’t do it in English-—so what?

I have seen plenty of captioned foreign films.

“Let’s find the kids.” It wasn’t a wise adventure for them due to the risk of rain and flooding, but the cave’s were clear of water when the kids went in.

It should be sealed with a gate during seasons when flooding is possible.

Making assumptions without knowing the true facts about a situation is classic PRE—judice.
The truth about the coach is posted on almost every FR thread about this story, and it would be well worth your while to learn it.

They live in an area where the caves are a HUGE tourist attraction——the coach did nothing wrong——just had some VERY bad luck.

What girls? All the films show only men, which is significant. When push comes to shove, we depend on the men to save us. Where were all the feminists who claim we do not need men? I LOVE men!!!!!!! Thank you, guys!!!

Obviously you have a very warped opinion on everything. Normal people enjoy exploring. It’s how we learn. You are insulting!

I was trying to make a joke about political correctness, which must have fallen flat. Never mind.

Why did this coach bring these kids so deep into these very dangerous caves?

He didn't... he went looking for them, found their bikes, found them and as the flood came took them further in the dry areas since most couldn't swim.

Same kind of thing happens every year with Boy Scouts going on Camping Trips, I remember a few years ago there was a flash flood that killed several of them.

Things happen. And exploring nature is better than sitting at home playing video games all the time.

It’s strange how they’ve kept it so secret. No pictures of any of the kids.

It's not strange to me. They are probably in awful condition and may be psychologically affected. I cannot imagine spending that much time in a pitch dark cave, much of that time alone and not knowing if rescue would ever come, and then having to go through that extraction process at the end. They've got to be traumatized to some extent - I know I would be.

Ann Coulter is right.

Quite a few of Elon’s twitter followers urged him to get involved. He agreed to look into it and that’s what he came up with. Honestly, I can’t fault him for his efforts, even if it’s partly self promotional. I think he’s genuine though. He’s got a history of responding to charitable requests with resources or money.

Incredible! Even moreso because it proved all the internet experts wrong.
