Re: “One Day Longer and Those 13 Boys Would Be Dead”
#22“ Together with Finnish journalist Johanna Elomaa, I wrote the book "Sukellus Valoon" (Diving into the Light) about my experiences during the rescue mission and how it changed my life” ^ From page 2 of the article. I Googled for this book but wasn’t able to find anywhere to buy it. Supposed to have been published in 2018. Perhaps no English version yet... was anyone able to find the book?

#23What effect did the sedation have? Were they still conscious?
Yea this sounded pretty strange to me, Im aware sedation slows breathing down, so some oxygen can be saved if human attached to tank is not hyperventilating for hours, Pretty crazy the kids were sedated and hands bound and feet tied!
Probably the last thing you would want is an untrained kid to panic during the rescue. They would most likely kill both themselves and their rescuers in the process.

Musk wrote that tweet about a separate UK diver. Still, this Finnish diver did show remarkable restraint here.
I respect Musk more than many commenters you see around. I understand he's not the billionaire savior many people seem to believe. I remember him mentioning something about how the sub couldn't go wrong because if the kids got there and the water rose, it should get where the kids were. How feasible was it, really?

except that elon did not initiate the exchange of words. Elon proposed his submarine. He was told by the diver Vern Unsworth to 'stick his submarine where it hurts'.

#27There is a couple of other stories that comes to mind, unfortunately both of them were about recovering the dead. "Raising the Dead" is about the accidental discovery of a diver in SA, and the recovery efforts there. [1] "The cave divers who went back for their friends" is about a trio of finns who went back into a Norwegian underwater cave system to recover two friends who got stuck and died there. [2] [1] - https:/…
This one is more a story of dumb luck, but there was a case of a crew member surviving for 2.5 days in an air pocket in his sunken ship:

He was discovered by divers hired to investigate the sinking and recover the bodies.

I don't think so, towards the end the diver stated: > If need be, we were to give them another shot of ketamine in case they were waking up.
being on ketamine while trapped in a cave would be ammmmaaaaazzziinnngg (ly terrifying)

Elon Musk is a grown man, not a child, and he should be capable of tact and self control. "He started it" is not a valid excuse for his public, slanderous little temper tantrum.
