    Could be worse if the coach was that Barry Bennell.

In all seriousness I was in Thailand when the lads first went missing. I really didn't expect they would find them alive - and seemingly in good spirits. Must be anguish for the parents - but can you imagine the elation at knowing they were safe.

 

Based on my extensive experience of once potholing for a day in Wookey Hole - I reckon they'd be better the wait for the flood waters to subside than try and teach them to dive their way out.

When I payed kids footy we just went on the rides at bispham gala for a day out.

 

Not wandering round caves 3 miles underground.

Absolutely Fookin marvellous aren't they. Better than the spaniel's ears.

If she was walking up the road whilst I was driving there'd definitely be an increased crash risk

Not half, phew, getting a sweat on here!

 

haven't a clue who it is mind but she looks like she would drain me to prune like levels (not so keen on the short bob though but I'd let it slide) :)

She’s a mate of mine from Daubhill....told her to be careful walking about round there like that......she needs to use Factor 50....

 

She walks down St Helens Road into town everyday at 10-30......

One of the divers has died trying to rescue them

Blimey,and he's a professional as well, shows how dangerous the whole situation really is. I hope this doesn't end as badly is it looks like it could. Are the flood waters still rising ?

All very grim.  Read that the coach will face charges if/when he gets out!

 

What was he thinking?

Re the OP question: 

 

I have a bizarre fear of being stranded in the middle of the ocean.  Nothing and no-one for God knows how far and a dark watery abyss below where everything is waiting to take a chomp out of you, dead or alive . . . shivers

 

That lass that was half sucked out of the plane window a while back was pretty grim.

 

Was it on here recently about those English divers (80's) in Scandinavia who were basically sucked through a pipe due to pressure when diving off a rig.  My word, I had a google and the pictures are ones I now wish I hadn't seen .

Feck me that made for grim reading. I've never heard that story before. Googling Scandinavian and sucking yielded some interesting stuff mind

Horrible isn't it - they say it would have been instantaneous but even so . . .

 

Sure I read that a chap wearing one of the early diving suits was completely sucked back through the air pipe when someone on land reversed the pressure.  Like that scene out of Under the Skin . . .

 

As for the last bit that's purely for the fuzzy tingle times

Can't find a link for the diver but sure I read it in Bill Bryson's History of Everything and iirc MythBusters did a thing on it as well.

 

 

Pressure change was so fast their fat separated from their blood . . .

Being reported that four of the kids are out and in good health. It'll be remarkable if they can safely bring them all out. Fantastic stuff!

They're coming home

They're coming home....

Did you notice one of them had an England kit on? :)

I didn't actually; presumably they got him out first!

 

Hopefully more on the way now.

If he says 'it's coming home' when he comes out of than cave then he's getting knighted! :)
