Not everyone's a fan of caving it seems

Did anybody see the video "here's the cave rescue in action in Thailand" and most of the video was clips of Keith's from Daren Cilau entrance [emoji23]

I've had a lot of the freebooted copies taken down by Facebook and YouTube but I'm still finding them! One copy was viewed 74 million times and shared over a thousand times.

Yesterday I uploaded a new video ...

The image of a smouldering explosives wagon immediately reminded me of a train explosion in the 2nd world war. Your video of the van being detached, averting serious disaster, has a direct historical precedent. I guess you may be well aware of this but am sharing in case it interests others on the forum. More info here:

Incidentally, your mirroring real events is in keeping with the original Awdry books:

"Nearly all of The Railway Series stories were based upon real-life events. As a life-long railway enthusiast, Wilbert Awdry was keen that his stories should be as realistic as possible. The engine characters were almost all based upon real classes of locomotives, and some of the railways themselves were directly based upon real lines in the British Isles."

The similarity to the Soham Rail Disaster has already been pointed out to me by my brother who is a gricer. I've always liked to think that my Thomas videos are in the spirit of the original Reverend Awdry stories so I'm pleased that you think so too.
