What is up with SE Asia and getting stuck in a cave?
I've seen this before….
Thank you, thank you, brave men for doing what you do! I hope you know how incredibly amazing you are!
Unfortunately, the paramedics ….. arrived …. Exactly 30 seconds after they had been crushed by a BOULDER 🪨 the BOULDER 🪨 crushing sound attracted a BEAR 🐻 and the cavers were killed
Didn't this happen before?

Here we go again.
Send the british in !
Finnish divers recovering those Italian bodies just recently. Now a Finnish diver involved in this rescue. Strange combination.
Can people stop going to caves for goodness sake!
Three times I returned to watching THIRTEEN LIVES, 2022, with Viggo Mortens, Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton, but I had to quit trying because I was having panic attacks. Great movie – Not sure if Elon Musk jealously insulting a hero occurs?
Just the idea of being trapped in caves, waiting to drown…. A mix of drowning and being buried alive. It;s probably my ultimate nightmare.
That Thai event was in 2018. Not long ago the billionaire idiots died trying to see the Titanic in a plastic capsule deathtrap. This week we've seen 5 Italians die whilst cave diving in Mauritius – with a local rescue diver also dying (from the bends).
Now five more people are trapped in underwater caves in Laos. I remember when people went to Laos to smoke opium and maybe pay a $10 bribe to a local cop to avoid problems. Progress is making everything so much worse…
This caving lark is a mug's game.
Did they find any gold.
BBC there, NOT reporting ISISraeli war crimes.
Fools Gold.
The whole world is f up. 2026 is cooked.

It is a gold’s mine. They are struck and heavy rains summers storm ⛈️.
Now 7 miners are rescued and survived.
Oh ffs not again
Again?
Please keep Elon out of it this time.
