I think it is very insensitive for someone to say that it's a conspiracy.
Please could you outline the "tick boxes" you state that mean such?
so far I have:
1) a football coach isntgoingto take 12 children into a cave complex in the rainy season 4km in without equipment duringthe world cup.
2) the children seemed rather calm for people who had been stuck in a cave for 9 days
3) the lighting did not seem sufficient
4) dont two rescue cavers take energy bars, lights , thai language emergency laminated instructions,
5) having two English guys pop out of water in a border region ofThailand would seem like ghosts to local people
6) why was the 25 year old ' team coach' not at the front
Shall we start from the top?
1- I've read somewhere on the internet that the cave is "safe" from November to June. The rainy season starts sometime in June.
2- The best way to conserve energy is to stay calm, if you get panicked then you will likely run out of energy. (if you panicked for 10 days, I think you'd be a nervous wreck)
3- all of the people being rescued will have been without light, even if they've been conserving light then they will have run out after 10 days. Theres a cave in the Ukraine which became home to Jews escaping the Holacaust, I've heard a talk about it, but I believe there is also a film. The individuals spent months and years without light to avoid detection, it is possible, the guy I heard talking about it was one of your fellow countrymen.
4- What about the lights on their heads?.
Energy bars, they're no good, a good fryup is much better, then you don't need to eat till you've returned from the water.
emergency laminated instructions. There is nothing more impersonal than handing people who have been alone and frightened a sheet of paper and telling them to read it. Their eyes simply will not adjust that quickly, and you will likely frighten them.
5- yes, Ghosts' but not implausible if you've been beyond a wall of water petrified that you might die if someone doesn't find you.
6- I couldn't make out where the coach was, but if I were a young boy, I would be more intrigued than an older coach by bubbles emerging from the water. I would want to be at the front. It can only be the rescue team.
