REUPLOAD/REMASTER
In 2007, a group of tourists entered the Nam Talu Cave in Thailand, when a flash storm caused it to flood. It's safe to say It did not go well!

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel!

God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?"

I'm not surprised either but I know personally, I'd listen to the locals and experts opinions over anything else. They live there and know the area more than you do. Their opinion is surely worth something. Especially in a land you have no idea about. If they tell you "Don't go over that way, there's a deadly tribe that attacks on sight" You don't go that way unless you're fully willing to risk your life knowing you could be killed. I'm not trying to blame the victims either, at the same time though it was extremely dangerous and reckless going in a cave in that location during monsoon season and any seasoned cavers would be well aware of that fact, so it was definitely an avoidable situation which is the saddest part about this whole thing.

My aunt and uncle would go on beach vacations every year. They would take their 2 kids along with 2 my kids and another nephew. They went to Myrtle Beach, SC back in 2017 just about a week after storm season. There were warnings all over the beaches that there were strong currents making swimming hazardous. People just basically blew off those signs like they weren't too serious. My aunt & uncle made the kids stay at the shore line for their safety. There was an 11 year old local boy swimming by himself. He went out far from the shoreline, passed a sandbar and got caught in a strong current. My uncle and another tourists who was only 21 years old took off after the little boy. They made it to him & began pulling him from the current. They saved his life, but unfortunately both my uncle & the 21 year old young man were pulled under by the current just after getting the 11 year old boy to safety. They both drowned & died that day. My uncle died in front of his wife, 2 kids & 3 nephews. The 21 year old died in front of his parents & siblings. There was not one adult with the little boy. That little boy had an emotional breakdown right after he had been pulled to safety upon realizing that the 2 people who had saved him had died. My aunt said that hearing that boy breakdown made the pain much more gut wrenching bc he blamed himself. She went to him to tell him that it was not his fault. My uncle's body wasn't found until 2 days later. My aunt had no choice but to stay in SC for another 4 days & 3 nights foe his body to be found & examined by the M.E to verify his C.O.D and then make the necessary arrangements to have him transported back to Kentucky.

What a horrible choice to have to make between splitting up and going for help or waiting together for rescue. Many stories show how people were only able to survive by someone leaving, while this one shows how waiting was the only option. So hard to tell which is the correct choice to make in a crisis.

[@skrittle555]

the correct choice is to heed warning signs and not go to a cave in thailand during monsoon season! no need to ask ourselves what we would do in such situations. just don't put yourself in them.

[@brightnail1]

@@skrittle555 Very true! a lot of people on vacations will prefer a local guide (because they are cheaper) rather than the guide offered by their resort/cruise ship, and because of that, a lot of safety requirements for some of these exersions are ignored.

I have been watching these videos and most of these deaths have one thing in common. The victims ignore warnings. It's there for a reason.

[@joenichols3901]

I'm not surprised they went in there. I went to the Amazon as a 20 year old... and when that young you just feel like you're invincible. Also, if you aren't aware of how crazy dangerous flash floods are, it would be a complete shock to learn the viciousness of a flash flood in person, while in a cave. Plus, if a bunch of other people agree to go, you can definitely get caught up in group think; "if they think it's safe then it must be safe for me". Tough lesson to learn the hard way

[@vickil3256]

@@monkaWGiga You’re right but if one was required to take a course they would at least be notified of the actual dangers that could possibly exist & the severity of making even the smallest mistake. It’s hard to ignore things when you are “required” to take a course. That in and of itself is a sign that caving is to be taken lightly.

[@omarb7164]

Agree. Also, I see many seniors slip and fall on ice during winter. They should stay home, or complete a fitness test that certifies them to walk on ice. No certification, eh? Stay inside old man, I’d hate for this rifle to go off. I believe a handful of people drown during summer. Is it possible to cordon off beaches, oceans, etc? Maybe a barb wire fence? Underwater mines? Maybe allow certifications. You wanna dip your toes? Sure, but first, go ahead and swim across the English Channel with handcuffs and lead weights around your neck.

Monsoon season is no joke in Thailand. I was river floating (literally just floating downstream in a life vest) this one year and a sudden downpour happened. The waters rushed so hard that I was going under but the vest was the only thing pulling me up, so my body was under but the vest was over the water level. In the river, a huge whirlpool almost swallowed me and my uncle, but we managed to somehow free ourselves. The river current rushed us down until we managed to get near the observation area where there were steel ladders to get out of the river from. We grabbed on for dear life and it took all our strength to not get pulled back into the river as we struggled to climb out.

That would absolutely destroy me down to my core if I lost my husband in such a way… or even at all honestly. But that situation would just make that loss so much more traumatic. And then to feel your hopes rise after being told that he’d survived. Only to find out that they’d lied for some reason. That poor woman. She must have some horrible PTSD. I hope she has the love and support she needs and has been able to work through and heal her heart a bit.
