Maybe she was holding onto him and the action of everyone jumping at once caused him to be ripped away. Your STUPID comment is just beyond me.

I was impressed by all the bravery shown by the rescuers However, I must say the group that went into the cave to save the hurt British guy truly need to be commended for their exceptional talent and bravery. They are extremely professional, calm, and never give up. I would surly like that team to come to my aid if ever I were in an emergency situation. Well Done !

Seconded. Without so many advances - in climbing gear, in helicopters, in communication, in medical care, explosives - in very recent history the only thing they could have offered him, assuming they found out about the accident in time, would be to give him mercy and perhaps recover the body. Amazing what they did for him, what they were able to do.

The captain of the boat should've told everyone to get out of the boat as they realized it started to sink and tilt. Getting stuck inside the boat while it sinks increases your chances of immediate death

[@kingsting12]

People often act irrationally in stressful situations, oftentimes not realizing the danger they are in. For you and me we're clicking on this video knowing what's going to happen, but for them they're just on a boat trip and thinking about what they're going to have for dinner tonight. It doesn't help that nobody else is recognizing the danger either. Having unfortunately been in a similar life-threatening situation myself during vacation, I know some people will even get angry if you try to warn them and others will flat out refuse to act. Doesn't make it any less frustrating to watch though.

Never ever use lifejackets when covered by a roof. If the ship sunk passangers would have been pressed against the roof without any chance of moving. That‘s the reason why they always stress not to put them on in the airplane…

[@TheOneanjel]

you don't know what you're taking about. Everyone on any boat should wear life vest at all times or plane when going toward ocean - airplane vests inflate after you pull the pin to inflate. vest doesn't cement you, it allows buoyancy so you can move on water. you are evil spreading such dangerous misinfornation.

[@ariadne0w1]

It sounds like a really short time, and of course they have to be dramatic for the show, but 20 minutes is a fairly long time for someone who isn't athletic and is panicking to be actively exerting themselves in rough seas. I think it's reasonable for someone to not be able to swim for 25 minutes straight, although hopefully the lifejacket would keep their head above the water drown even if they stopped swimming.

I've done caving before, nothing nearly on this cave's level, but I can tell you it's an experience like no other. These rescues are, thankfully, very rare, you're more likely to get hurt hiking, but they're very dangerous because you're in tight spaces. People have been shoving themselves into holes in the ground since we knew holes in the ground existed, I don't think it will ever stop. Luckily, more and more research, skills, and experience are making these incidents less frequent and more survivable with time, even if the progress is slow.

[@maudbrewster9413]

It’s for science and all of us benefit of it. Where do you guys think iron and other precious metal or oil comes from? Also: Living should be fun and all of you use some kind of motor vehicle to go to places we don’t necessarily have to go there and even though walking for sure be safer, no?

Why didn't the first rescue boat just ferry the initial rescued passengers to the nearby waiting freighter, dropped them off and then return to rescue more people that were in the water and repeat the process? It is always sad when there's loss of life in any situation. Did the sinking boat radioed any distress and exact location, call? And what about: women, children, elderly and physically challenged people... first? Seems like some able bodied men got on the first rescue boat before the aforementioned.

[@zuzu6864]

It would be irresponsible for the ship to help them because it would be hard to lift them up, and people could get swept under the ship and crushed or float into the motor.

and the freighter isn't going to the local marina where people can get medical attention, even they are able to get people onto the freighter without killing them in the process, what would they do next? they would need to move them onto another boat anyways, which is also risky.

And yes I do agree people who participate in extreme sports should think about lives of people that they could be risking.

But extreme sports rescues are totally avoidable.

Cave rescue teams are made up of... cavers. Sports like that are dangerous which is why people look out for each other and do whatever they can to help out when things go wrong.

If you're in a boat and it's sinking don't stay there, you have to jump out before it sinks, and then go on top of it when it turns. Even if you don't know how to swim you have a life jacket that will keep you above, and if it's not enough to float you have to keep your head up and feet(hands) too, and then look for something to grab on like the back of the boat, you cant just stay in a sinking boat, a tip for swimming, start moving your feet forward and the other one back like if you're walking, same with your hands, left leg forward right leg back left leg back and right leg forward and keep repeating not so fast tho same with hands but with the hands is up and down like how a dog swims, this it's just a tip too for beginners and to keep you above water

When I was watching that boat sink I was like why these people are not jumping off the boat but I understand their hesitation. Nobody thinks that it's going to sink until the water starts pouring in the boat. It's like we think that is worst case scenario and that can't happen to us. At least that would be my reaction I think.

@@moving.quotes true!

The narration is over the top like always. 15 minutes in a tropical ocean is not the worst place to be. I have been rescued in a helicopter off a mountain. It was not dramatic. It was calm and I was not crying in fear. Over dramatising a situation like this puts unnecessary fear in people. Panic is often more dangerous than the situaton.

You're right but insensitive. Not everybody knows this or has the capacity to employ that logic in a tragedy.

15 minutes in a tropical ocean is not the worst place to be? First, they were in there much longer than 15 minutes! Do you know what's in that water? There were a lot of elderly people in that group. A tropical ocean isn't safe just because the water is warmer than other places and you can still die. The evidence of that is the number of people who did die! You're right that panic is dangerous, but don't discount their experience because it wasn't yours.

Here I thought those people were Soo calm in the ocean..what about sharks. Etc .. it was only mom calling for her boy which is understandable No one panicked..

[@ryanblanchard2508]

I agree. Shows how pathetic some people are. Just useless dead weight is what a majority are. They couldn’t even swim to the freighter.

Many of the people on the boat appear elderly. Being rescued off a mountain is no where near what these people went through being tossed in the ocean, and for a lot longer than 15 minutes. The fact that you had to be rescued off a mountain, what does that say about your judgement? Your lack of empathy and self-righteousness is appalling. The only person I saw panicking in the water was the mother who couldn't find her child, which is understandable the rest were incredibly calm in my opinion.

That first beer with the boys after this must hit different

[@catman8670]

Sorry, you’re married, baby coming and you’re playing with your life. How smart is that?

[@masuphamolapo9560]

Was that a design fault of the catamaran? Having widows below the water line?

Salute all rescuer

Sean lady honestly needed to get a grip, people are all around in the same terrible situation and she makes it so much worse by shrieking the whole time.

[@drewrodrigues]

That guy just dipped on his wife onto the boat. He's like, I'm out 😅
