Heat turned up over the Sukhothai naval tragedy with 19 thought to have perished and 10 missing

Some posts trolling about ping pong balls in Pat Pong have been removed.

Yes, turn the heat up on this--way up.  Gross incompetence all around from the get-go.

The very first thing that should have been grabbed immediately after the tragic incident should have been the Captain.

Instead, he makes speeches about wanting to find his lost Boys and bring them Home.

Vomit inducing

Watching him weeping. 

 

Definitely odd.

Seen an episode of Myth Busters where they pumped ping pong balls down into a sunken boat to raise it up. Hope the Thai Navy refloats that ship.

They could start a collection of used ping-pong balls from the adult shows, shouldn't take long to collect enough.

Yeap, maintenance and training.  I wouldn't be surprised at all if there wasn't periodic major intermediate and/or drydock-level maintenance overdue due to a maintenance funding shortfall or senior leadership delaying maintenance just to keep the ship in operation.  Many operators (i.e., admirals, generals, etc.,) just hate to see their ships, planes, and tanks go into depot-level maintenance which can last months to years.   There has always been a battle between operators, maintainers, and budget folks as to when big-money maintenance can be accomplished.  

 

Any yea, training could have been lacking like sailors being signed-off in training records as being fully qualified/trained on certain tasks when in fact they hadn't received enough training....that is, pencil-whipping training records. 

 

And no, I'm not saying insufficient training for the "enlisted" sailors or overdue maintenance as the driving factor may have been poor leadership & operational decisions made by the "officers" during the emergency.  

 

But to get to the bottom of things all necessary docs/records need to be immediately secured to prevent records from being doctored to cover tracks.

 

Get to the bottom of things - - no problem, just drawing up the short-list now for who takes the blame.

Just admit you lost 29 soldiers. They are not floating around alive, nor are they hanging out on a local beach somewhere. 

 

The brass needs to be severely punished, for this incredible breach of safety protocols. Heads should roll. The world looks on with astonishment. 

You will probably find that the majority of the people in the world have never seen or heard about the incident, and wouldn't care anyway.

As this Thailand, it will along with all like important issues be off the front page in a day or two, all forgotten (how fortunate) waiting for the next disaster or drama.
