  1. Could easily be you're right. For the moment what transpired doesn't make much sense, it could be interpreted in many different ways.
  2. The post following yours contradicts your post already. 'Most' is not dependent on a interpretation btw.
  3. I read they declared an emergency 1 hour 20 or so into the descent.
  4. And you would trust that system, knowing that any slight failure will cost you your life?
  5. The photo is the kiosk at the airport, their office is just to the south of the airport.
  6. Agreed that some are using it in ways that are useless. But 'most Thais mask from dawn to dusk' is simply not true.
  7. Please explain the connection between 'it's the truth ' and the rest of your post. Iyop of course.
  8. Phuket has asked for that a long time already since it would financially benefit Phuket. Apparently Phuket puts in more than it gets out of the government coffers.
  9. I was wondering the same. I guess it would depend on how they filled out the application. 'pilot of a submersible going to 4000 meters deep' sounds different from 'manager of a tour company '.
  10. I don't think any estate foots the bill. But it's about more than money. What's the point, except showing off capabilities? Leave them be
  11. They're dead on the seafloor at 4000 meters. Please don't spend any effort and money on this.
  12. So nothing on this topic? No surprise because he is absolutely right
  13. There is a vacation in china. Let's see in 2 weeks.
  14. Depends how you want to move forward, in this case how you want to move forward with the China relations.
  15. There may have been safety issues. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/21/us/titan-sub-safety-oceangate-employees/index.html
  16. On what basis do you conclude 'jail time for normal Americans'?
  17. Agreed with all. Still doesn't seem smart to say it out loud, and for sure not diplomatic.
  18. When was the sub supposed to surface BTW? Can it not be a simple communication issue?
  19. No commercial benefits? I think it is one commercial enterprise. The costs of the search and rescue should be on the company offering this trip. After all I'm sure they are insured?
  20. Nearly all tourists arrive visa exempt or obtain a visa on arrival.
  21. Really busy with tours and trips at the moment. Expected since it is a Chinese vacation ATM.
  22. Good there's an independent prosecutor then.
  23. Excellent. Now waiting for Trump's attempts to delay
