    ThAts my thought too. They were screwed. Those waves hitting them broad side would have swamped them fast. 

    Watch the video again. At 2:30 the driver of the other duck boat, the one that made it, initiates a U-turn with no problem at all. That’s what makes this whole thing even more ridiculous. Quick spin of the wheel and these people are pulled up onto the bank of the island that is within a stone’s throw.

    Turning around and going down wind to beach it wherever you hit shore. Could that boat have been able to survive the turn?
     

    The other POS duck boat completes a successful U-turn rather easily at 2:30. But then he spins it back into oncoming waves and keeps on plowing into the maelstrom like the Edmund Fitzgerald. 

  3. I tend to have them on Saturday or Sunday mornings. I'll wake up at 5 am when my alarm is set to go off during the week, then I'll lay there in a half-sleep till the kids come busting down our door an hour or so later. It's in that window of time that the really vivid stuff happens.

    I spoke to a good friend of mine who dives all over the world. He said while the situation wasn't ideal there is now way in hell an experienced diver should have died due to lack of oxygen. Especially one considered to be a Thai Navy Seal. 

    Yeah well, people fuck up sometimes. 

    The dude went in there trying to help some kids escape certain death. Kids who themselves had fucked up bigtime. He’s a hero IMO.
