The untold part of the Thai cave rescue story (when egos collide)

[Raimund]

13 children saved from certain death and all that some people on this thread can do is bitch about someones ego apparently being bruised, that if true may have occurred some where in the middle of this attempt to save the lives of 13 kids........
Maybe before posting complaints, walk a mile in the shoes of the rescuers, both physically, mentally and emotionally. With hindsight, did they make mistakes, sure, we all do.

This is what usually happens when the rescue leaders (Rick Stanton and John Volanthen) and/or resort to insults, criticism, and downplaying the contributions of those not on their team, despite their absolute essential role in the successful outcome of the rescue.

If you can point out the mistakes of others, you should also acknowledge your own.
