Mess the media around and they may find some way to get back at you. The Chile operation showed how to deal with media. It is great when the media start reporting inaccurate information as well. What I have seen of this incident is a controlled and careful release of information based on facts. I have also read a few news articles that are sensationalised to get the readers attention. Really do you think the media angle is being mishandled? I dont think so |

Did you see the movie K9 I think ? about the Russian submarine that had a breakdown in its nuclear reactor. Guys volunteered to go into to the reactor to repair it, knowing they were no going to live. They did it to save their mates. This is real life. Not a movie. |

Oh well, that changes everything. :lol: Let's put everything on hold until we sort the paperwork. The miners can wait until we get our papers shuffled. :groan: |

This is specialist work and well out of the league of a "West Coast Bobbie" . Yes the Police are in charge on cave rescues too, although the control is always manned by cavers and the Police controller is usually just that a controller taking advice from cavers . We have to keep them in the loop since it is SAR (i . e the Police) who pick up the bill . So cavers make the decisions and the Police are the face of those decisions |
