I think I have to watch the episode again because I missed most of this:

Absolutely. They do give the children tranquilizers before they head out - seriously, this would give anyone claustrophobia.

Here’s an impression of what they are dealing with - for all clarity, not a video of the rescue itself, but of similar circumstances.

Yes, me too, and I’m amazed how many experts from other countries have volunteered to help. And before anyone says that there are far greater tragedies happening in the world: I’m very much aware of that - which is why this especially warms my heart.

I don’t think the coach is to blame either, like HappyBerry says. 

I don’t know why not, just that Thailand is not the only country where most people don’t know how to swim. It often has to do with dangerous waters like you mention (snakes, crocs, rapid streams). I live in a country below sea level, swimming lessons used to be mandatory in primary schools.

Yes, I’m sure everyone is just dying for advice likenever go caving’ or ‘you should really learn how to swim’.

Don’t forget about the stiletto thigh-high boots.

I’m scared of heights AND I can’t see in the dark, so this would give me a full-blown panic attack.

I think he saw this:

I don’t think it’s posing. To me, it looks like embarrassment/shyness whenever she walks past paparazzi and doesn’t know how to act. 

I’ve heard he’s generally not a nice person to work with, maybe not to his a-list costars but to ‘the little people’, and more than a bit full of himself.

I want to watch anything the Fab 5 do, 24 hours a day.

Yes, I know of that one, but you mention a third? 

Yes, there was another attack, this time on newspaper De Telegraaf. But what is the third?

This makes me sick to my stomach. We had an assault on a newspaper here too this week - thankfully at night, when no one was working there (they drove a car through the entrance and set it on fire).

My first thought too.

This reminds me of an episode of Cheers in which Sam finally reads a book, a first edition of The Sun Also Rises from Diane if I’m not mistaken, and drops it in his bath when he finds out why the main character is impotent.

This is probably a stupid question from a non-American, but why doesn’t Kennedy stay on till after the election in November?
