I watched an interview with the guy who had to anesthetise the boys before they could be rescued from the Thai cave. There were the equivalent of Thai Navy SEALs working on that rescue who panicked and became disoriented due to the horrific conditions in the caves – at least one of them died.

Having seen that interview, I can’t think of any situation I’d less want to be in than cave diving, the story he told was fucking terrifying.
