Man, fuck caves. Ever since I read the story of that poor guy in the Nutty Putty cave they've been a source of nightmares, not that I was particularly fond of them beforehand.

You'd think a 26 year old with a family would be smart enough not to crawl into tiny spaces in some cavern system and after first resistance go FURTHER into the unknown...
What drives people to do this? I get big panic just laying in a MRT machine. I'd stay far, far away from any tiny crawl spaces.

To begin with, caves are obviously fascinating. A passion for exploration, discovery or simply challenging yourself then drives people to go around that corner, through that hole, down that slope, etc.I'd like to know that too. Things like mountain climbing, wing suiting, skydiving, snowboarding from a helicopter, etc, I can understand as there must be an exhilarating rush from the mix of freedom and danger. Slowly crawling around in dark, tight, spaces though... that I just don't get.
oh no@AP: BREAKING: Thai authorities say navy SEAL working to rescue boys trapped in cave has died from lack of oxygen.
Speaking at a press conference Friday morning, a commander of the Thai Navy SEAL group said that the former SEAL, a member of the Navy's rescue team, was placing oxygen tanks along an exit route to assist the young boys and their coach in their escape from the flooded cave when his own oxygen ran out. He was found unconscious around 1 a.m. Friday and transferred to a hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
This is what is likely to happen, especially when one of Thailand's best has just passed away during the rescue.Once these kids are pulled out, the military needs to C4 the entrance into oblivion so this does not happen ever again.

It will be a travesty if they keep that cave open for exploration if they get the kids out.

None of the other options are particularly great. Or even good. We just have to hope it doesn't flood all the way through the cave for months?A trained navy seal diver died doing prep work.
And a bunch of boys who can't even swim, let alone dive, are supposed to be able to make it out alive?
