The answer might be found if you google Hawaii full face mask drowning 2017 2018. I thought the news said something inherent in the full face mask may have caused black outs via lack of air and then drowning. There were a handful around the same time and they may have rented the masks from the same place.

Those are incredibly complex issues.
Kids trapped in an underwater cave is a terrifying, imminent threat. The world mobilizes for a few days and it's all over.
It could have been a lone, sixty year old guy trapped in that cave and I still would have freaked out, like the Beaconsfield mining disaster. Someone gets trapped in a deep dark hole and silently, everyone hopes the world would turn over to save them, because that could be you.

Heh, that's not going to happen. I mean, it will, but first there will be the big Hollywood movie.
Which I won't watch, because caves scare the crap out of me.

Saw a 1 hour special on science channel about this rescue. They didn’t show shit that the news didn’t already show..
Seems like all the footage of the actual diving 1 by 1 to get them out is being kept under wraps.

Not to mention a cartoon-like, billionaire villain trying to fuck up the entire operation with his crazy technology scheme in order to get publicity.
They should just hire Jesse Eisenberg to redo his Lex Luthor performance in Batman vs Superman.

I think steve may have a bit of an (un)healthy hatred of elon musk, just based on his past reactions when his name is brought up
I was so triggered by the way he pronounced PEDO as PEEDO that I had to turn it off.

Thai cave rescue site to become a tourist attraction

Rescuers who pulled a young Thai soccer team from deep inside a flooded cave were dismantling their worksite Thursday, as plans emerged to turn the spot into a museum in tribute to the daring operation.
At least one film production house was already working on a scheme to make a Hollywood treatment out of the heroics of divers, cavers and medics who risked their lives to free the "Wild Boars".
Stunning footage of that rescue was released Wednesday showing the youngsters - aged 11 to 16 - being stretchered to safety.
They were also seen sitting cheerfully in their hospital beds, where they are being kept in isolation until doctors are sure they did not pick up any nasty diseases during more than two weeks in the dark.
Workers were Thursday packing up the industrial water pumps, heavy-grade machinery and construction equipment at the mouth of the Tham Luang cave, which had been a high-tech command centre during the 18-day ordeal.
Rescue chief Narongsak Osottanakorn told reporters the site would ultimately be converted into a museum showcasing the clothes and equipment used during the dramatic rescue.
"I believe it will become another highlight in Thailand," he said. "Tourists will come visit."
About 50 people were working at the site, National Park ranger Pinitpong Wongma said, adding that he expected work would continue until at least Sunday.
"Nobody is allowed to go inside the cave at all even though there is still a lot of equipment there because water levels have been rising since the rescue mission," he said.
INSPIRING STORY
The rescue of the "Wild Boars" team was still being celebrated in Thailand as the 12 boys and their 25-year-old coach recovered in a local hospital.
The Nation newspaper called the operation a "Triumph of global cooperation" on its front page Thursday while the Bangkok Post published a collage of images of those involved under the heading "You Are Heroes."
The saga started on June 23 when the players walked into the Tham Luang cave complex after football practice and were trapped when monsoon flooding blocked their exit.
Nine days later British divers found the dishevelled and hungry group perched on a ledge 4km inside the cave.
Thailand cave rescue to be turned into Hollywood movie

Over the following week, experts from around the world descended on northern Thailand and rescuers pumped out more than 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools-worth of water.
A huge media pack of more than 1,000 journalists gathered at the mouth of the cave feeding audiences all over the globe with every twist and turn of the dramatic rescue until its joyful conclusion on Tuesday.
The huge international interest in the story sparked immediate talk of books and films.
Michael Scott, the managing partner of faith-based production house Pure Flix, said the company intends to pursue a film about the against-the-odds mission.
Scott, who lives in Thailand and went to the site in Chiang Rai as the boys were being pulled to safety, made the announcement late Tuesday on Twitter in a video.
"We're here really looking at this as a movie that could inspire millions of people across the globe," Scott said.

Yea. I'm definitely the biggest AFTV shill on this website but that was getting to me too. Especially when later on in the show he pronounced "pedophile" the proper way. But then went back to "peedo guy"
I think he was intentionally trying to piss me off

Footage? What cave do you live in? There wouldn't be any footage. If they have any video, it would be in digital format. I doubt they have much if any video. The water was murky, the cave dark and they had a lot to do without bothering with video.

My thing is, what were they doing for most the 9 days before they found the kids? We're they doing much diving, or placing tanks and lines in order to dive?
Btw it's amazing even that experienced dude got lost for a bit when rescuing the kids. Couldn't find the guide line for a bit. Yikes !

Cavers hate the word spelunking. The National Speleological Society uses karst topography to find new caves and maps them as well as doing cave rescue. They also hate the word spelunking, they call it caving as well.
