#BRITISH DIVER LOST CAVES UPDATE#

However, Davey said they were unable to open a hatch on the object.In the video, a female member of the crew can be heard saying that they were lucky “it wasn’t nighttime, we would have smashed into it.”The container, estimated to be of “about five meters by three meters by four meters” by Davey, was too large for the fishing boat to tow to safety.A Northern Territory Marine Safety statement noted though that the Wildcard crew had placed a marker buoy on the container to improve visibility for mariners.Storyful contacted Northern Territory Marine Safety for an update on the container, but no further comment was available at the time of writing. A member dived into the water for a closer inspection. “Holy shiver me timbers,” he can be heard saying at one point, as the crew grabs a closer look.Northern Territory Infrastructure, Planning, and Logistics issued a marine navigation warning on Facebook on August 5, urging nearby vessels to “proceed with caution” around the “large floating container”.The area is a “hotspot for debris,” according to a spokesperson for the Australian Marine Conservation Society.Davey and the crew of his ship, named Wildcard, spotted the object as they were fishing for mackerel off Groote Eylandt, in the Northern Territory. The British diver said his name is “tagged with being a paedophile”.Īn Australian fishing boat sailing in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Northern Territory, spotted a large container of unknown origin floating in the water on August 4.In footage recorded by Bruce Davey, the container can be seen bobbing up and down in the water. Mr Unsworth said he was “obviously” aware of the post, and asked what it meant, replied: “If I did not (sue) it must be true.

Mr Unsworth was then asked about a follow-up tweet from Musk, in which he said words to the effect of “Don’t you think it’s strange he hasn’t sued me?” “I find it very hard to even read the word, never mind talk about.” Mr Unsworth, a veteran cave explorer who said he first travelled to Thailand in 2011, added Mr Musk’s tweet was “very hurtful”. Bob Davies lost the guideline the cardinal sin of cave diving. Bob Davies, an experienced cave diver, discovered Chamber 13 in 1955 he had swam beyond the known limits of the cave and he nearly died. And at times I feel very vulnerable, it hurts to even talk about it.” Squeezing through small holes underwater with thousands of tonnes of rock above is hazardous and things can go wrong. “From day one I was given a life sentence without parole. Perhaps then we all should be getting down on our hands and knees to practice our sense of smell.Mr Unsworth, who divides his time between London and Thailand, gave evidence at a Los Angeles court on Wednesday and appeared on the verge of tears while describing the impact of Mr Musk’s tweets.Īsked how he felt after seeing what Mr Musk’s tweeted, he replied: “It feels very raw. Oooo-key McGann…… But seriously take a minute to think people….your nose could save your life or even someone else’s. “Try it in your yard, it’s really quite impressive.” British rescue diver Josh Bratchley had been exploring the Tennessee cave with a group over the last. “I have got down on my hands and knees in the park to track stuff,” he said. Diver Who Helped Save Thai Soccer Team Rescued After Disappearing in Underwater Tennessee Cave. McGann said that he has tested out the tracking finding and found it compelling. One study found that cows have 2,000 such genes – almost double that of dogs.Īnother study suggests that people can track a scent across a grassy field–at least if they’re willing to get down on their hands and knees and put their noses to the ground. However, new work suggests the number of olfactory genes and ability to smell does not the nose make. Humans have approximately 1,000 odour receptor genes, for instance, compared to 1,100 in mice, which led us to believe mousies had better sniffers than us. So, it turns out bigger is not actually better….

“The fact is the sense of smell is just as good in humans as in other mammals, like rodents and dogs,” claims John McGann, a neuroscientist at Rutgers University in New Jersey, reached this unexpected conclusion after spending 14 years studying the olfactory system. It actually turns out that we underestimate our human ability of smell as compared to the animal kingdom,

Rising into an air pocket British Diver John Volanthen, one of a number of foreign expert divers drafted in for the rescue, inspected the air as they always did for signs of human life. They reached a large cavern that would be later dubbed “chamber three” to serve as a key base for the divers. On Sunday 1 July – just over a week after the boys went missing – the rescuers made some headway.

They used their sense of smell to locate the boys. In locating the lost Thai boys, 2 brave British cave divers used an invention far more exquisite in design and sophisticated in decisive action than Elon Musk’s mini-submarine, SpaceX, Tesla & Boring Co combined.
