They're all fucked, aren't they?

Yeah, saw earlier that one of the divers taking in supplies died.
How did they get in there?
It's so bizarre. They've been found and are in decent health, yet it just seems completely inevitable that they're doomed.
Short of some Worms-esque pneumatic drilling and blowtorching (always a great way to piss off your opponent with Mourinho-style play) I think they're alligator food.
Just take a hose and clear the floods one by one.
Apparently it's no longer feasible due to oxygen levels, but the whole idea of keeping them down there for four months is ridiculous. They would all go completely nuts.
Feel like I'm about to set the alarm off on QI, but why can't they just strap the kids to the divers? I'm sure it's probably dangerous for some reason, but if they're fucked anyway, there must be a good reason why not.
I've never dived, so I'm not sure what this actually entails, but they'd apparently need to teach them basic diving skills, which I'm guessing is quite hard to do in those conditions.
They got down their because their football coach took them there for the lols, apparently without the parent's permission. He'll be going to prison.
Bet he's a paedo.
It'd odd, my gut is that they'll get out, but when the options involved seem to be waiting for 4 months, or teaching terrified kids diving skills, I don't know why I think that.
Considering an ex-navy diver died attempting the dive to reach them, I can't see how the fuck a bunch of kids are meant to be taught to do it.
Can't they train a whale to take them all out in its mouth?
It's a four hour swim through murky water and in places barely wide enough to swim through. I reckon blowing the top of the mountain off would be safer.
Can't someone build a submarine out of bamboo or something to take them out?
Musk is apparently sending engineers from his excavating company to see if there's a different solution.
What a wanker.
ofc Musk had to get involved.
He's like Batman if his parents lived.
And dedicated himself to his personal enrichment instead of fighting crime.
Musk is a twat but fair play to him for helping out.
Does anyone else read/sing the thread title to themselves to the tune of 'Girlfriend in a coma'?
I'd like to point out it were a Thai Navy SEAL (may he RIP) and had it been an American those kids would've already been out of that cave by now, by God *spits tobacco*
In situations like these where some random group of foreign people are completely fucked, it's best for people like us to acknowledge that:
1) it will be devastating for people who know the kids and sad for others within their cultural landscape (which is basically only other Thai people);
2) accept that these people are outside of our naturally occurring circles of care (it's not like any of us here actually know their names); and
3) forget about them since we, as individuals, don't have the resources nor influence to extend any help that is already being given.
Good conversation piece though--I had forgotten about Worms.
Or you know, you can actually be sad for incidents like that.
Should have just stuck with ‘whom’.
They could send in an actual seal, with a child-sized oxygen harness on its back, and get them swum out of trouble that way.
I'd heard it was up to a 6 hour swim in pitch black.
Imagine knowing that was effectively your only option. Think I'd choose suicide by hypoxia and stay in the cave.
They've been asking about updates on how the World Cup is going.
Poor bastards
Tell them Thailand won it to keep their hopes up.
"It's coming home, but you're not."
Elon Musk turns up, none of the equipment works, a local man dies using it, and all of his Twitter fans @ the major car manufacturers asking them where they were.
Then Phonics @s him to ask what took him so long and gets banned.
I didn't say out of the cave alive, mind.
The distance the rescuers have to travel and the tiny openings they have to squeeze through fucks with my head. How far in did the dizzy cunt take them before it started filling up? How on earth can they expect to get the kids out via the ‘swimming’ method? How the fuck can ‘wait 4 months’ be an option? Even if they get them oxygen, they’d all be absolutely fucking raving by then.
I can’t see them getting out of their alive at this point.
Ya know I never really imagined them not getting out of the cave until I opened this thread.
I heard the story on the radio and thought well isn't that nice! Good for them! That could've been TRAGIC!
It’s literally nightmare stuff. Trapped in the pitch black. The closest people hours away. Fully trained people dying in the journey you might have to try. Water rising. Oxygen levels dropping. FUCKING TERRIFYING.
Could they not pump oxygen in for them?
I don't reckon there's anything wrong with a little humor to get passed some of the sad stuff in life.
Surely we're all sad that the little brats were lead astray by an adult they trusted and will now pay for it with their lives, but just like in school shootings "thoughts and prayers" are gonna do just about fuck all.
