Why is the Air fan off this is a very strange rescue

Never happen, yes its ok for a Deputy Minister of Transport to say the importance of safety during the rescue operations. BUT it is Never implemented Thais need to be self aware of a Safety culture it has to start from the top BUT it costs money and Thais wont spend money on Safety as i said before money will be given to the family's and that is the end of the company's responsibility they will just carry on doing the same thing NO lesson learnt

yes agree have worked with the Chinese before I was Amazed how old Fashioned there construction methods are and the safety unbelievable. my boss was a Chinese you could not talk to him and show him better way to do things they did not know you could add chemicals to concrete to make it cure faster he want wet straw laid down to cure the concrete I did not last long in that job

That's if he is not banned for 10yrs

Sorry to say but nobody is coming out alive its taken them 6 days + to dig a few meters the other guys are another 5 + meters Would is going to be held responsible for this, money will be paid and then forgotten NO lesson learnt will be passed on, no improvement in workers safety the guys died for nothing

Oh thats toooooo hard for the Thais to decided Flip Flop !!!!!

By the looks of the rescue efforts i would say No there are No expert hard rock miners there just look at the safety shocking!!!

this is based on Documented FACTS do your research

This is Normal Thai quality does not matter above lives as long as i get a bonus

Correct how did they get out by bring in EXPERTS

Discussion based on Facts Not ill-informed opinions

Been here over 20yrs still the same and every year set up command center nothing ever gets done there is NO water management plan in Thailand?? waste of money and every year the Photo shoot of the big nobs wading through the water "we will fix this" What happened to the Multi billion baht Drain system in Bangkok ??? Thais are great at flip flop decisions and committees but NO action

In fact you are wrong again PT had promised NOT to work with the junta Party's in the last government but who did they work with ???

Feel sorry for the guys trapped but they have no chance with a bunch clowns doing this rescue

This IS YOUR Opinion no proof

Another misguided Thaskin lover Are you Thai if not But out its the Thai mess

Think you might be right He is quoted as saying Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan warns that those in power who support coups still exist Indeed, before the 2023 General Election, General Prawit made it clear that only he had the knowledge of the power structures that effectively run the kingdom. At that time, he warned that any government without his leadership was likely to experience difficulty. In particular, he warned that there were still people in power who viewed a coup d’état as an effective means to an end.

HA! HA! you are funny Labor dept, Nothing will happen, she is out of a job end of story,

ok did not see the metal lining, but I have been in a lot of mines in my time and the safety in mines in Thailand is shocking, as for this i would put it down to the company no training of workforce, workers were possibly in an area of unsupported ground, which is normally a no go zone, that is the first rule. no plan of action but whats going to happen Nothing !!!! would like to see the geologic report for the area would not like to be on a high speed train going into that tunnel

you get nothing coming in second it was lucky for PT that MFP was kicked out. so no PT did NOT win the election

Very good post only thing is the company or contractor would have access to a horizontal drill rig as can be seen on the photos as the shotcrete need anchor bars drilled into the wall mind you looks very sparse in anchor bars it has to be noted tunnels are defined as a confined space would if any training been carried out plus the method excavating this tunnel is very old fashioned labor intensive but lives are cheap in Asia

Oh you mean the Corrupt killer gangster Thaskin

Your living in the Past The Thai people have NOT chose thaskin read the polls in the news

You one word is SAFETY

hard rock miner Safety in Chinese mining is zero, the guys at the face are not wearing self rescuers (SCSR) which in western countries is against the law the guys will be gasping for breath no air getting to the face if you look at some of the photos you see guys with shorts on, and no safety boots worked on one project with sino-Thai never again the quality was shocking no pride in workmanship
