    Although the end result is a of great joy and relief; except the lose of life, the event however should not have happened in the first place! The finger should be firmly pointed at the individual placed in charge of the minors, namely the Coach!

     

    The stupidity of the coach created anxiety, ill health and lose of life. I've no pity for the coach. He did wrong and should be dealt with in an appropriate manner. He risked the life's of the team of boys plus his own life and that of the many rescuers too.

     

    What about the feelings of both the family and friends of the rescuer that lost his life trying to aid those in need of support and life saving.

     

    The team are so lucky to have been rescued. The efforts of all concerned, which includes foreigners too, should be praised for all their efforts and willing, regardless of race and creed.

     

    Humans can co exist, but it does not need an event such as that just passed to prove humans can!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    For a person with the peace sign as a avatar.. gee-whizz.

    I would think it would be hard to co-exist, around judgemental people, sporting firmly pointed fingers. Especially given what appears their small understandings of the situations they address, but that's just me. ?

    Have a good one. ?

    The plan was to build more team spirit and physical endurance. There is no way he planned to get stuck in that cave but once there he did everything to protect the boys. He refused to eat any of the food they had brought into the cave himself leaving it for the boys causing him to be one of the two deemed to be "yellow" for extraction. This young man kept 12 active kids together, kept their spirits up through ten dos of total darkness and uncertainty. He taught the boys to drink the water dripping into the cave rather than the contaminated water in the pools surrounding them. He kept their spirits up with stories and admonished them to remain somewhat still (hard for kids this age) to conserve calories. Basically he did everything right after becoming trapped and is probably the only reason those boys are alive and fairly healthy. Arrest him? No, go arrest the people running the dive boat operation instead.

    100% On-point.

    Eh what?

    Good drugs, and an alternate timeline I would suspect.. BUT back on-point,  I think they have moved the weaker ones out, and know that chamber 3 is relatively safe spot for a re-group to get the last lads out safely once they get a quick respite. Only my opinion, but how I am reading it.

    Seems to me definitely political. The major tourist areas in the North remain unscathed (thank goodness for them). I live in Trang. A lovely town, lovely people, thought I lived in paradise with my kids in a safe environment until yesterday. The bomb went off less than a mile from our home and the fire in the supermarket that was started at 3am is still going. A huge area of buildings near the train station will have to be pulled down. Damage will be many hundreds of millions of baht.

     

    The police are simply not trained to deal with these situations. It is only due to the incompetence of the bombers that the damage to life and property is not more significant.

     

    Note for all in terms of personal security. These people are not muslim or isis bombers who are looking for their ticket to 72 virgins. They are political terrorists and as such they do not want to be caught or killed. Stay in areas that have a high presence of security people. Security people are a deterrent and a would be bomber of this psychology will move to a quieter less protected location. All bombs so far have been devices using mobile phones as the device to activate detonation and have been in bags mainly dropped in waste paper bins. All supermarkets, bars and even public areas should for the moment have all waste bins removed (remember this was done in the 80's early 90's in the UK). Be vigilant. If you are in an area where a device goes off before you become the local hero please remove your family/GF/kids from the entire area to complete safety. Normally a terrorist will always have a secondary more powerful device within 100M of the first device. They will wait for police/ambulance and crowds and then activate the second device. Sorry to harp on but this has been part of occupational 'interests' for 30 years. Good luck, be safe and hope the security forces can effectively intervene soon.


    Unless of course the bombs are being placed by so called "security people" , if it is as you say, political. :blink:

  5. why not just buy something current generation that has been tested, same basic principals on the hull, but has dryrun insoles in the tires, internal gas storage in the engine for 60k's, the external tanks blow off in an explosion (and also have rubber seals throughout the external tanks for small arms fire), to name a few features. Clearly better in terms if there is a fire fight in an ambush situation:

    Why is this for the airforce anyway? You would think they would be in the air or something along those lines.

     

    A Dutch Army Bushmaster in 2008. This vehicle has been fitted with a remote weapons station.

  6. re-entered using a fake passport to continue his counterfeiting operation and known for some time?

    He's sold thousands of fake passports and in Thailand illegally but police were just monitoring him for some time. The delay seems incongruent as he is a one-man operation. Might some police have covertly taken advantage of his services for nefarious reasons?

    I thought I readhe was not a ne-man operation?

    I thought ne-man was invading Europe.

  7. Cherio Brits, without your negative contribution the EU has now a lot more money to spend on countries in real need. No more rebates, farm subsidies etc. for leeches. Hurray.

    Bye Erik clap2.gifcheesy.gif

    Wonder if Erik is Greek ?

    I thought Britain contributed £120 million a week or £17 million a day to the EU. After accounting for the money the Brussels sent back to Britain and EU spending. Doesn't sound very negative to me.
