Anyway we all hope they're alive in that Pattaya Beach area and they can be reached ASAP. But personally, I think it's quite possible that they went "swimming" the first day and that was it. I didn't think of the "going swimming" aspect, but now that you mention it, it's entirely possible something like that could have transpired.

Yes that would be a mystery too. But remember that account from the long ago survivor? He was talking about soft spots in the floor of the cave that were basically sink holes/draining holes? Couldn't bodies be sucked down there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep expecting them to turn up in one of the pools. But no. So there's only left and right, left to search I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, "guessing and imagining" are about the only options we have. I believe everyone here is hoping and praying for a positive outcome to this situation, but those of us who are "realists" also understand there is a possibility of a "positive outcome" not occurring. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a lot of guessing going on at that cave as well. It's clear their best theory is the hope they are at PB but that doesn't mean they KNOW they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve73 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 The best outcome (obviously) is to find them alive at PB. You might think the worst outcome is to find just corpses there. But what if they're not there, then what? How much further will the rescue attempt need to push on, with an ever decreasing chance of finding them, and with ever increasing risk to the rescuers with the approaching rainy season (at least until they've managed to find a dry access route). How long before they are forced to give up? Hopefully they'll be found soon.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiKiwi Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 1 hour ago, Julie H said: You guys are just guessing and imagining, is that what you guys do on these forums? Good question. To which the answer is 'yes'. When people run out of sensible things to say (which they did a while back), they create a vacuum, which they then fill with nonsense. Sadly. Every day, the volume of faeces generated by natural processes is overwhelming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to consistently demonstrate his alpha male credentials - lots of beta males out there with him in their sights. So no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe not. retiredandhappyhere: Normally I am polite, passive, and try to be helpful, but after following this link from day one, and listening to the inane questions, nonsense, and continual negative responses posted by some folks , maybe I was a bit direct - especially to things that have been covered and repeated over and over by many people and available here for all to read - the two comments you have highlight are just a sample. As for the guy who is talking about alpha male and the rest of the nonsense - well, certainly the pot calling the kettle black - did he explain his warning from the moderators about his continual slagging off the Thai people - such as calling them stupid, thick, uneducated, un-trustworthy, etc. not by subtle comments but direct in the language I indicated (still doing it but being a little more devious in the presentation) - so talk about alpha male- in his case it's more like he is the superior white authority talking down to the peasants. You might also note that anyone who stands-up and comments on his nonsense is put onto his blocked list - typical little boy action - my football- you play my rules. No further comment from me on this matter as it's not necessary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animatic Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 All this bile is ridiculous. What is truly and solely important is finding the children and coach. Worst case to give the families closure, since that time is fast aproaching, considering their dress and lack of body fat to survive on over 9 days... But best case a dramatic rescue and a slow but complete recovery for all of them. And MAYBE someone in authority will post adequate warnings about the dangers of entering into this cave system during rainy season. This is NOT the first time. Something I am fully aware of and I am not a Spelunker at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No cooperation between the many different rescue teams, too many sensation horny peoples (politician, soldiers, voyeurs) and too many media peoples.
