Elon Musk queries expertise of Thai cave rescue officials
Elon Musk has questioned the expertise of Thai rescue officials who turned down his offer of a submarine, despite their having organised the successful rescue of all 12 boys and their football coach from a flooded cave.Hurt his feelings, I guess.

Thailand cave rescue: Doctor DEMANDS new plan warning ‘weakest may die if not saved NOW'
Yes they did say this. But, I think if I were the adult I would have to get all the children out first. Not saying they even gave him a choice, but I believe in women and children saved first and the captain goes down with the ship so to speak.As usual we can make up our own minds. However, the coach was weak yet came out last.
He was a day late and a dollar short < old saying.
O/T
Doesn’t he have a tent that needs him. J/k
Honestly I think it’s a good idea.
It will bring attention to the dangers and highlight all the hero’s.
And the wild boars, coach & family will most likely be paid for their story.
They better get someone to agent them into a fair deal.Honestly I think it’s a good idea.

I didn't realize he went in and out everyday. I thought he had stayed there the whole time.He’s been described as “essential” to the rescue bid to save the trapped Thai schoolboys because of his unique skills and experience.
“He’s an interesting character,” MedSTAR clinical director Andrew Pearce told reporters on Monday as the rescue efforts in Thailand continued.
“Harry is selfless, he is extremely thoughtful. He’s a quiet person. He is the type of guy who will give of his all.
“He was actually meant to be on holiday and gave up his holiday so that he could be part of this.”
Dr Pearce said Dr Harris was known globally both for his work as a doctor and his ability to retrieve people from difficult places.
“He’s using those skills at the moment, not only as a doctor but the added benefit that he happens to have this amazing ability to do what no-one else does in diving into very dark, tight spaces with not a lot of equipment,” he said.
“In this small fraternity of people, when you get asked for by name you’re known worldwide for your skills.”
Tragic past of Thai rescue doctor
....
The Australian’s Amanda Hodge reported that Adelaide anaesthetist Richard Harris played a central role in the rescue to the end, diving each day all the way to where the boys were trapped to check their condition before clearing them to dive.
The Thai boys and their coach are all free
I read about him being there 2-3 days ago and commented that he was probably the one to make the decision on weakest first.
I'm glad I didn't read that article before the boys were rescued. It says Dr Harris was experienced at bringing bodies out of caves and had done so in a particular Oz case.
There is another headline in this article that talks about the boys' mental health. Is anyone able to pull that up and post the text on here? It wouldn't load for me.
Child psychiatrist Dr Andrea Danese said: “This is a psychologically traumatic experience.
“These children will have been exposed to a condition that threatens their survival.”
Mr Danese added: “Once the operation is over and they are safe I expect that a sizeable minority of these children will not only develop emotional symptoms such as being tearful and being more clingy with their parents but also diagnosable mental health problems such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.
“One thing that many children who develop post-traumatic stress disorder do is try to avoid reminders of the incidents.
Thailand cave rescue: Thai boys will be left with ‘mental health conditions’ after rescue“And in a situation like this, I would expect many reminders could be there.
“For example, interest from the press or questions from teachers and friends and family.
“And so that might cause quite impairing conditions where children might isolate themselves from others.
“Just being in the dark at night might remind them of the incident and the rescue operation.”
One of the main British divers told a friend back in England thatI'm glad I didn't read that article before the boys were rescued. It says Dr Harris was experienced at bringing bodies out of caves and had done so in a particular Oz case.
