Popular Post webfact Posted June 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2021 Picture: Daily News Workers at a sand suction pit near the Trang River in southern Thailand wondered what had happened to their colleague Narong, 70, after he went under water to position a sand suction head. Attached to an oxygen stream he entered the water at 9 am but by 11.40 he still had not surfaced. It soon emerged he had got stuck under the water and the Sawang Phakdee Trang rescue services and a large dive team rushed to the pit. They found Narong - an experienced worker at the site - was under 5 meters of water but still alive thanks to the oxygen support line. His body from the waist down to the legs had become squashed by a large log. Though bleeding profusely he had managed to remain conscious throughout his ordeal. Picture: Daily News Rescue workers and two divers utilizing a backhoe managed to remove the log and free him in a four hour operation. He was seriously hurt but was now recovering and out of danger in Trang Hospital, reported Daily News. The head of the rescue team said that during the suction process the log had someone moved and trapped Narong under the water. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-06-17 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are individuals on TVF who seem to haunt every forum topic and are always adversarial. They will engage in running disputes for hours if you engage with them. Better to just tune them out and never, ever reply to their posts. They always take that as a challenge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Good thing the compressor had enough gas. Maybe the government will make a new rule where certain tasks require a observer and Levi big fines for breaking the rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 he suppose to have constant touch with somebody ashore, even with a string to call SOS (if not another diver with him to help in an emergency). Probably it's only 5 minutes job to move the hose to new position. Those 2:40h were way too long before they spotted him missing. And 70 yo not suppose to do heavy jobs, probably should not dive at all, but supervise and secure others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
