    Mr Musk is just a narcistic and egomanic genius who can't stand it if he get's criticized. Then he does not know anything else but retort with insults. 

     

    But... he is in a boat with Donald Trump in all that, except that Trump definitely is NO genius, no matter what he claims

     

    Sad that this is the current "Best" America has to "offer" to the world, can add Maxine Waters to that group also

    Guess it's his outrage of jealousy bcoz he did not get access on the top of the heroic team.
    What a <deleted> !

    You have to investigate the circumstances more. I have been on a much smaller wooden boat in the Maldives which was sailing in smooth waters all day to an island and diving and on the way back a storm blew up and it was getting a little concerning. We couldnt see where we were going even and almost ran aground.

     

    I can swim well we had life jackets so I wasnt that worried even if the boat went down. But the chinese on board were praying.

     

    So these boats it must have been an unusually big storm to sink them. 

    ... and the operators where the only ones who could not check a weather forecast bcoz busy with counting money.
    Let's blame the storm only ?

    Money first, safety ………………..………...what safety ?

     

    Two responsibilities exist with this tragic debacle, the boat captain who decided to ignore warning and set sail fully loaded - we have the captain claiming there were 5m sized waves as though he is trying to blame the waves, sorry but that doesn't fly, you took risks disregarding safety to line your pockets.

     

    The 2nd responsibility is with the authorities (who incidently have now banned boats setting out) who should have enforced a sailing ban before this tragic event - but as usual they take action after the fact - a very common occurrence here which is too late and many people are now dead because of it.

     

    Those responsible for both of the above should be arrested and face severe criminal charges - it is the only way the message will get across

     

    This is a massive disaster considering the death toll all of which could have been avoided

     

    Yes Thailand is safe for tourists …...right ?

     

    RIP 

    Thailand is quite safe if there is no salty water around...
    RIP all the poor chaps

    Maybe I missed something here, but how did those boys get there in the first place ? I mean, surely they wouldn't have crawled through such narrow places when they were exploring the cave (obviously before the flooding came and surprised them). There has to be a passage that is wide enough for them to have walked to the place. Unless they all had speleology lessons before, but with no gear I doubt that's what they were doing. So I think it is quite possible to have such a rescue-tube in there ... but hopefully the water level will decrease enough for them to get out fast and without any harm! Great news, probably the best of the year. Hats off to all those involved in the rescue !!

    Have you ever been in one of those caves ???

    Wish they would get it right... "Compressed air"

     

    Compressed Air Tanks... 

     

    100% oxygen is likely to be fatal at a diving depth grater than 5 meters 

     

    And I do not see any tanks even marked up enriched air/Nitrox (air that is enriched with oxygen).

    You remember me to my old mother !
    Meanwhile everybody knows the difference, but you still have to show up with your knowledge ?
    There are 13 -and more- lifes in danger !!!

    ‘Poor coordination in cave search leading to waste of time’

    By The Nation

     

    79fad6f6b36c3e9ce8052f2ffd3154cf.png

    Lerpong Suansang, head of a search team of the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department

     

    A senior rescue official complained about the wastage of time caused by the lack of adequate coordination between several teams exploring shafts over Chiang Rai’s Tham Lung Cave.

     

    Lerpong Suansang, head of a search team of the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department, said there were several teams searching for shafts that could offer a passage to chambers in the cave where it is believed a 13-member football team could have been trapped.

     

    Lerpong said several shafts had been searched that they only led to a dead-end but due to lack of coordination other teams also ended up searching the same shafts, assuming them to be new discoveries.

     

    He said there should have been better coordination so that all the rescue teams were aware of which shafts had been searched.

    You already know the answer to that.

     

    TV posters are for talking and preaching and drinking, not for doing. The underlying cause of this appears to be a conviction that they know everything and that the mysteries of life always look less intimidating when viewed through the bottom of a beer glass.

     

    Hope that helps...

    Yes, your answer helps. Thnx.
    I thought they are cowards hiding in www and just have a big mouth...

    They cant win these politicians lol ..

    If they go ..they get told to stay away and not interfere ..
    If they dont go , they get criticized for not " caring " .

    I remember Aquino did not go to Tacloban in the aftermath of Yolanda , and was never allowed to forget it ..
    particularly by his political opponents .
