Loser? I suspect some here were only passively following the story, but just remember who this guy is here...
- Police find chained up bikes of the soccer team boys after the rains had started to fall
- They asked for volunteers from anyone who knew the caves
- Vernon Unsworth, a cave spelunker, sprung into action and started searching in dangerous conditions because he knew the caves so well
- When the water got too high, he spoke to the Thai government about divers, who told him that they just didn't have those kinds of resources at their disposal
- He calls the British Navy and they volunteer for the mission
- British Navy gets diplomatic immunity from the Thai government
- Vernon Unsworth works with the navy to guide them through the murky floodwaters in the cave.
- They find the boys alive nine days after Vernon Unsowrth started working.
Not all boys went to the cave, some returned home, the police knew that they were in the cave because bikes were still there. Nevertheless they made full search in the area.
They didn't ask for "volunteers" who knew the caves.
They asked for volunteers to search for kids.
They tried to enter caves in the same day, but could not pass far, as a result they started to search for alternative cave entries.
Unsworth was "cave expert" only for mass-media. There is no records of his "expert" help to Thailand authorities.
Interesting moment: when the british diver was asked in Four Corners program about cave structure he was quick to mention that the drawing in mass-media news was wrong.
Thailand authorities sent thai navy seals, started to collect infrastructure for long range diving, and as it is common for cave rescue they call international community. There is no difference with the cases in France or other countries whatsoever.
The british happen to react first, the american and europeans were second (the difference was hours apparently). Thailand authority established diver group, putting the british group which was most experienced and very very well known in diver world in the first most critical phase and thai seals together with american militaries in the second etc. passes.
There were no British Navy unites participating in the rescue efforts.
The immunity was received by Australian doctor who used anesthetic drugs to "calm" kids.
Unshworth was voluntary and did no "guiding" (what a BS). the British refused even thai "help" not to babysit anybody.
People die in caves very quickly.
But no, he's just an impulsive tweeter. He's a different breed of CEO of a 50B+ company, one that lacks "professional."
He is CEO of two (now three) companies which enjoy permanent media bombardment.
