12 boys and soccer coach stuck in Thailand Cave [All rescued] (Read OP)

It's a very American thing, this obsession with blaming, suing, etc.
Makes sense to take the 4 strongest our first, gives the doctors more tume to get the weaker ones boosted up with more food, stronger for the trip. Also more time for training the less able ones in diving etc.
Also as they were the strongest, they managed 4, drop down to three from now on gives more divers available for the weaker ones.

Very glad to hear of the first few getting out the cave, fingers crossed for similar success when they pick it up again. Must have been a terrifying ordeal to have gone all that time before being found.
Nah, divers need to rest, I don,t know much about diving but this operation is very demanding, someone said it's divers version of climbing mount Everest.
The extra oxygen tanks placed on the route also need to be replaced before they can save next batch.
I'd rather have someone take a second to ground the conversation by calling out this obnoxious American tic than just running wild looking to blame and talk about suing someone who is currently going through an awful ordeal (that they're handling in a very decent, self-sacrificing manner).
Huh, that is something alright. I mean... it is neat that they made it, and I guess it could have been useful if a child had been unconscious or extremely weak.
All this requires is the person inside to lay there, they don't have to learn to dive, etc and they could just be pulled through by more experienced divers who know what they are doing. Though it wouldn't work for really super tight spaces or tight bends.
If a kid got sick, if the water came back, or who knows what else, you might be glad to have a backup solution. There is nothing to lose in continuing to test this thing, for this or future cases.
Concerning claustrophobia the alternative (diving) isn't much better.
Rescue operation at the location is currently on pause for several hours and Elon just tweeted about his rescue pod thing?
That doesnt look like it would be very easy to maneuver or adjust to get through a very narrow passage
Looks like it would get stuck

Uh, been going on for many pages. So a rich guy has an idea and a prototype that they aren't going to use. I don't see the big deal, considering they eont risk using it and this is probably just publicity stunt by him. Of course some people here are falling for it.
Oh fuck this bullshit. People in Asian countries (mostly China) will walk right past kids that were hit by cars and dying in the middle of the road for fear of being sued. So lets drop the "america is the only sue happy country" crap.
Are you referring to the divers involved in the rescue? What a dumb comment.
What the fuck is that supposed to mean. How bloody jaded and pathetic have you got to be to make a post like that in THIS thread?
Elon is rich enough to fly anywhere in the world at the drop of a hat. Him tweeting about flying to Thailand with a prototype and people already singing his praises like he's done anything is really fucking ridiculous. His latest tweet is literally him demonstrating it in the calm waters of a pool. You guys really think anyone would risk using that?
I'm talking about the guys in the twitter video and Elon Musk.
They are doing something. Even if the pod doesn't get used in this particular situation it can still be worked on and used in the future for other rescue operations. You're taking cheap shots at people who are trying to help which as a poster above stated, is incredibly pathetic.
Ah that was something I hadn't even considered, thank you! I just really hope it works, I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like for them all.
Can we enact a moratorium on discussing Elon Musk in this thread (or whatever's going on here) until him and his team actually get there and get involved? This is becoming cyclical at this point.
More than you'll ever accomplish mate, why make it about race ffs it's about peoples lives
To post this in the middle of an active rescue operation is just another thing that makes it look like grandstanding from Musk.
Keep it quiet, privately contact those co-ordinating the rescue operation, see if your solution facilitates a need the rescuers have, then talk about it all afterwards. This just feels like showcasing technical ingenuity, 'Here's how we would do it', while a situation is ongoing.
That is bigger than 3-Mars Bars End-to-End though. Lol.

Me too, but I can see the value in this at least conceptually. Water-based accidents tend to go poorly for both the person in danger and the person doing the saving if both parties aren't able to keep things under control.
Cave diving is also like wild fucking dangerous even for experienced cave divers.
