        No! He died, cause he failed to safely check his oxygen. If the dude was a trained “Seal” as reported, then he failed BIG TIME. Stop spinning the story! This whole issue began in stupidity, please focus on that and the survival of the kids and dumbass coach.

        Heart? The Dumb Ass coach who took those kids into a cave he was not familiar with has NO HEART. He put into motion this situation that may cost more lives. A person with true HEART would have made a more prudent choice with folks under his care.

        they KNEW the caves, they had gone climbing several times, it isnt the cave system thats the problem, its the flooding, you are being a heartless monster going on and on about him being stupid, accidents, and failed measures happen, even to professionals, even costing lives.

        Replying to @Drumming1995 @Jewelshepard and

        Correct. One of the mothers even had a photo of her son taken during a previous visit to the cave on her tablet. The photo was incorrectly interpreted as a photo taken during the present ordeal before the record was set straight.
