I don't think any of these divers want to sleep or could sleep until they're all out. There are a lot of drivers who are taking turns. Even just resting helps. No one can keep going forever in a stressful situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post InfinityandBeyond Posted July 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2018 FIFA World Cup 2018 should be dedicated to the Wild Boars Football Club for winning the greatest contest of all: life versus death. Overcoming their fears and choosing to fight on despite all odds. The team and the countless heroes instrumental in their rescue are all a testament to the strength of the human spirit and what can happen when everyone works together. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusting state of affairs. What does it help to dwell on bad news? The 40+ are dead unfortunately, our praying or silence will not help them. Let's focus on the positive and what makes us hope. Like the boys in Tam Luang. And if you think you have to care for every death and catastrophe in the world - there would be no time left for eating and sleeping. And whom does it help if you keep your emotions down by following all the bad news? Not saying you shouldn't help if you can.

But given the amount of caves and maibpenrai, the probability is high this happens every rainy season. Facts please - not guess work.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Lots of reports of 6 being taken to hospital, but just a few minutes ago, at the press briefing Narongsak Osottanakorn stated that only 4 boys are out.

Popular Post Sheryl Posted July 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2018 Press conference explained that need to restock the cave with oxygen /air cylinders before they can bring out more kids. (I think they are using O2 to raise the O2 level, air tanks for the dives?) So the work will continue during the night but positioning all the supplies needed for bringing more out The success of today's effort owes a lot to the precise planning and meticulous preparation They've run a tight ship. Very impressive. 16 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, those poor people are / were already dead - just another preventable disaster in Thailand, whereas these kids were still alive and saveable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The many subforums that deal with life in LOS, like the housing, DIY and all the other subforums are for information, not entertainment. Just because you only go on certain subforums doesn't mean that ALL of TVF is for entertainment. TVF is a marvellous resource for those in need of help and advice. I certainly would not characterize this particular thread as "entertainment". It is people who sincerely care about these boys coming together anxiously and eagerly to share news. Those wanting entertainment, plenty of other sub-forums for it. Not here, not now. 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
