Hopefully the shoes are another clue, but it is also possible that the shoe positioning is coincidental. Each shoe was of a different type and colour arranged in the shape of an arrow. Do you think that was coincidental? When people take their shoes of they usually lay them side by side in a pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEVUP Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 43 minutes ago, JAZZDOG said: Actually Vern from the UK maybe correct that the boys took the path to the right. It said it was a 750 meter crawl to the bigger chamber. It was at this intersection were they found shoes/backpacks. It would make sense then this is were they would leave their things before starting the crawl and maybe they had never been this way before so that may have been a factor see some place new. The other issue is they were likely at this point around 2pm and that left little time to go and return to Pattaya beach which is 3X as far. Seems they have enough experts and even though multi-tasking is not practiced here that they could also head to that chamber before it is too late. Maybe As I mentioned in another thread " was there anything stopping them from going to the right " That was before I knew there was a 750 mtr crawl involved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 750 meter crawl to kids equals fun. Second if you where going to crawl you would leave shoes and especially backpacks behind right before the crawl began. Why would you just remove these items in the middle of a route. Reported these were found at the Y in the path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If these sandals were arranged in an effort to point like an arrow, I am quite sure that they would all be facing toes-forward, not askew like this. I see this as "grasping at straws". I do not see an intentional arrow. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is using the cross bearing method between several (minimum 2) cell towers. Whereas the Global Positioning System is based on satellites.

billd766 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 3 hours ago, cardinalblue said: Why is no one discussing the obvious. The diagnostic information of the infra-red equipment? There are two ends of the spectrum. The equipment is inadequate and , therefore, trying to secure more advanced tech elsewhere if it even exists... or The equipment is sufficient and it reports no movement/activity at Pattaya beach. Nothing as been reported to the media either way.... All that has been reported/said is they are trying to reach Pattaya beach and hope to find them there. And that is based on what? evidence which they are not sharing with the public, forecasting scenarios or a wing and a prayer? Why do you believe that they should share the evidence that they do have with the public? With the families I can accept but the public at large? What can the public at large do?

In any event, laying breadcrumbs after a flooded passage has been traversed makes sense, but why would they do it here? I agree, I don't think there is anything useful here.

That would possibly be the wisest action - but - it simply wouldn't be allowed due to protocol & possible future litigation, look how people on here are condemning already, wait for the aftermath, if it sells advertisements the press will slaughter any & all in the postmortem period. Hopefully their advice is being used constructively , but in the absence of a functioning "command" center who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as it is a major fork in the cave system and that's where they probably made their decision which way to go to escape the rising water it would seem obvious why they would want to do that and who it would be for. Do you really need to ask that? Having said that I am not sure if it was deliberate or random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenchair Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 14 hours ago, khunPer said: My lovely girlfriend just said that she learned from Thai news, that the rescue teams has heard the kids in the cave, and will not wait for the water level to lower further, but continue to where the kids are, as it very close to the divers. Has anybody else heard something like that; i.e. can verify..? I heard that amongst the Thais there is a media blackout. The team were found and drugs were found. Seems really far fetched. And certainly just gossip. But the Thais and myself do seem to think something is going on that's not in the media. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
