You are absolutely brilliant!

Sarcasm.....WE did NOT get her out in a flash. It took a long time.
She could well have perished.
As I posted before, I am sure the best and brightest are already working on this.
WE do not have a monopoly on emergency response.
Does everything have to be politics?

What is political about anything I said? It looks like a 3rd world country operation to me. I saw pictures of people moving water with 5 gallon buckets, a bucket loader that looked one size up from a law tractor, soldiers riding in the back of a two wheel drive mini truck. I looked at a couple hundred pictures.
My comments were directed at the lack of equipment and man power.

A team of 90 expert divers are working here - 40 from Thailand, 50 from abroad.
Not sure how that makes it a third world operation.

I have seen picture where they have built stairs with handrail, are piping in air, and have electric lights - not sure where your pictures are coming from.

This is from 2007. There was a story about this woman recently and what she went through. I'm not sure if it was the same caves but still horrific.

BTW, it was reported 12 minutes ago as I write this ,that 2 more boys have been rescued .That still leaves 6 kids and the coach.

Linked off the first page of MSN, they even had a picture of what looked like 100 guys with shovels in a small area repairing a road. Something a bucket loader would have made quick work of. It makes it look like the mass of humanity on site is sorely lacking in equipment and supplies. Who knows, could be MSN was putting their spin on it, they are good at promoting an agenda and telling half the story. I don't see how their politics and bias could affect coverage, but you never know these days.

The coach is probably dreading the reception he'll be getting when he exits the cave.

He got them into the mess, but probably also is a big reason they are still all alive, so who knows what the reaction would be.

This region is prone to earthquakes and tremors. They were taken 2 1/2 miles into a cave. A lot of distance for a random cave-in.
Its my belief this coach didn't have the kid's safety in mind the least bit what-so-ever. Different culture than ours entirely. This wouldn't have ever happened in this country, especially where earth movements are common.

I thought they just kept going deeper to escape incoming water, it will be interesting when the real story of what happens comes out.
