yep & fantastic to see the international help.Tigers of Old said:Fantastic news that they are getting them out. A good news story.
I'd hazard a guess (based on rumours circling the media) that they didn't deliberately go 4km in. I suspect they were in there when water started flowing in, blocking them from going back the way they came in. Therefore they went deeper into the cave to a) look for an alternative exit and b) a desperate attempt to escape waters flowing into the cave.Harry said:What were they doing 4kms in a cave in the first place?

Why do people deliberately drive like hoons? Why do people drive drunk? Why do people take drugs? Why do people binge drink until paralytic? Why do people go boating in small water craft, in rough weather, with no life jackets? Why do people go bush walking unprepared for adverse weather changes?mrposhman said:What I don't understand is why go in there now? Just coming into the wet season? They've had the dry season to do it but chose now. Seems strange to me.
I'm really happy they are all safe, but another man has lost his life and his family deserve to understand why.

It wouldn’t be a heroic team of American only rescuers. It would be one man: The Rock. And the rescuees would be the Miss USA finalists. And the cave would somehow be littered with explosives that are about to be set off by terrorists from an unnamed country (similar to North Korea).Legends of 2017 said:I hope Hollywood don't get their paws on it. They'll include a non existent love story, a team of heroic only American rescuers, and probably base it in the US.
Well done to all those involved.
