chama Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 And so it has begun....it appears four are out and doing fairly well. The approach taken by the worlds people to this, united as one to save these young men, makes me proud that we can, in the time of dramatic need, pull together and work as a team to solve a threat.

The water looks remarkably clear. Ignore him he is a serial Thai basher laying in the boot all day today and during the rescue no less.. and ended up looking like a total idiot. I mean seriously who posts pictures like that without an explanation...weirdo Edited July 8, 2018 by BangkokSausage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unfortunate leadership and management was not up to the task and that is why we face the dire emergency today extracting these kids in less than ideal conditions. If this was to be the course of action it should have gone down two days ago, not on the day that was forecasted for rain for the last week. The underling theme throughout has been reaction as opposed to proaction. . 5 hours ago, JAZZDOG said: From the morning of 7/24 there should have been a committee of experts focusing only on life support once the kids were found. -food/water -breathable air -sheltering in place -logistics in case of rising water etc etc blah blah Ever since the kids have been found there has been a huge, well coordinated effort, planning, training, practising for the rescue we are seeing now. They've been planning it for days which is why it appears to have gone so smoothly with the first kids coming out in good health. Do you really think they've been sitting around on their <deleted> and have just decided to do this now because it's started raining? This is not a reactive effort but undoubtedly the most well coordinated proactive effort Thailand has ever seen, and probably that most of the world has ever seen. And all the things you listed were done. They found them. They got water, food and medicine to them, they got air lines in to them, they got doctors in to them, and they immediately started prepping them for an extraction. What the Hell is wrong with people in this forum?? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the Hell is wrong with people in this forum?? Once this is over can we volunteer to send some of the TV heroes who know better in to the cave? I'll start a crowd funding page and will contribute $1,000 to kick it off. I'd like to see them organise their own rescue with no help from Thais because we all know Thais are incompetent and would try to steal the crowd funding money because Thais are also money grabbers. Maybe one or two of them could try out Elon Musk's inflatable floaty things because Elon is a westerner. They would be crying for their mums in seconds, unlike these boys, the coach, and the amazing people who are in those caves working to bring them out. It seems Thai and international heroes are on the cusp of executing one of the world's most incredible rescues. Fingers crossed all the kids come out just like the first few reportedly have.

Drugging people that are going to cave-dive???? Any more great ideas? No riskier when the boys go panic. Doctors know what to do, they are on the spot. They give no ganja, or ice, but sedative. Surely, they understand the dosage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very mild anti anxiety med might be useful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khlongtoey Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I would guess the reason there are 40 foreign divers, is because regular open-water & cave diving are very different, I noticed one of the photo had a farang with a Nitrox tank for example. If heavy rain is starting may well be a very good idea, to have started this now, if the water volume going through funneled areas make the current too strong to move upstream , especially. seems cave rescues require 1000s of people ; may be less difficult than organizing better ocean and road safety really godspeed john glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, using a sedative is individual regarding reaction to it. That is something a doctor never can be 100% sure of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a reactive effort but undoubtedly the most well coordinated proactive effort Thailand has ever seen, and probably that most of the world has ever seen. Yes, this was a very fine balancing act, between taking advantage of the lull in the heavy rain, optimising the amount of water they could pump out, getting a sufficiently capable diving team in place with oxygen along the whole route, renourishing the boys and giving them some quick training in the water, and taking into account oxygen depletion within the cave, especially since the sad death of the Thai SEAL. Timing was paramount, and they've shown great judgement and flexibility from the start, adapting plans of action as conditions have changed. Nothing but respect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
