Well I reckon a carpark in Coolum is worth at least $100k based on storage costs of more than $3000 pa and 3% interest rates...
Very sad news for ABC viewers. Always a riveting look when she was on a topic. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-29/liz-jackson-leaves-a-legacy-of-telling-real-stories/9921762
Another dumb footballer. https://www.news.com.au/sport/sports-life/barry-hall-sacked-from-triple-m-radio-after-inappropriate-comment/news-story/d6d45cf7d5f53b1c7de1ecb66498b13d
With all the title of this thread going on in the world....this is the best alternative one of the year by far. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-03/thai-soccer-team-found-alive-in-cave-after-9-days-missing/9933522
They haven't got them out yet and I hear the viz is zero making it even more dangerous than normal trying to get kids out on scuba who have never done it and then having to do it with no visability
Fantastic news but it turns out finding them may have been the easy part: http://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/2153506/thai-cave-boys-get-four-months-food-and-diving-lessons
FFS John,I'm sure this rescue will probably generate some of the most innovative ways to get this mob to the surface the world has ever seen.....as did the Beaconsfield mine rescue.
FFS Simon, if you've ever dived in zero viz as an adult WITH training and experience you'll know this is no cake walk for these kids ...... they are very young and easily frightened by the things that can go wrong Saying that, there are a few Aussie divers on the rescue team who would have hopefully plenty of experience. I'd prefer to hear that the navy clearance divers were involved along with some of the other nations specialist divers, we don't need any John Wayne "heroes" involved, just the real deal. One of the things I experienced in a "white-out" situation was disorientation with nothing to reference your position with. I read the caves are difficult to navigate so I suppose they will run ropes the entire length for everyone to keep on the right path
FFs John,they're could be other options. One option is to wait for the water to subside. This ^^^ is a quote. They did get to where they are all by themselves without loosing anyone. ...as is this.. Or they could avoid the water all together Cochrane said thousands of soldiers have been scouring the mountain looking for ventilation shafts that could provide a back door to the cave.
I heard on the ABC radio that they are pumping out the water ...... I like that option the best. The water will be murky right now but over time it will settle ...... easily stirred up though by a floundering child with no buoyancy control I hope they find another way out, will save a lot of grief
