If that isn't big enough, you will need a Howitzer
But to go bigger than that would be ridiculous

The mask, or moving them through the tunnels?
being dragged unconscious through miles of water.
I know, being awake would have been worse.
Still a nightmare.
Which is the reason for the sedation…
Mad props to the crew that pulled that rescue off

This is a big deal:
ICC issues arrest warrant for Russian president
Vladimir Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court for his invasion of Ukraine.

Not sure looking at that whether it's a sweet or savory pie. I could see it going either way.
I'd give it a go. Did you try it? If so, how was it?

I had the mango pie. That was a first for me also. Pretty good!

The team was 2.5 miles into the cave system, but most of that path was out of the water.
I doubt that would really make it less frightening. But surgery is the stuff of nightmares too. Except it generally isn't. You're sitting on the beach. You get a shot. Now you're out. Being awake would have been a million times worse and would absolutely have resulted in deaths.
Bear in mind that you cannot really trust the accuracy of the reporting. For example, they constantly refer to "oxygen tanks". Breathing oxygen under water is quite toxic. They were breathing air, just like you.
My views on this are probably skewed a bit both by spending too many years in the ER and by being a cave diver.

Right on. That sounds good, too. If someone told me to make a mango pie, I think I'd go with something along the lines of a peach pie... Mango has that flesh kind of like a peach or apricot.

Sounds like fun.
well, true. Kinda like having your 'caves' explored. You are up, joking with the nurses, then you are out in recovery.The team was 2.5 miles into the cave system, but most of that path was out of the water.

I'd be terrified just being trapped in a cave. But being hauled out conscious would make it worse for anxiety.The team was 2.5 miles into the cave system, but most of that path was out of the water.

Unconscious people really are not anxious. Especially when the drugs used to sedate them are anxiolytics and amnestic.

Mrs Xue paid Delta for round trip tickets to Alaska for a summer vacation..... after she made the reservations and confirmed the reservations they instantaneously changed the boarding time...... now a month later, after all other plans are made with connections to a cruise....the changed the date of the flight to a day earlier.... that we can't do, work conflicts and no hotel reservation to spend the night there...Then as she is talking to them about this she discovers that they changed are return flight to a day earlier.....we won't even be there.... and now they don't want to refund any money.....

This is, sadly, far too common. We sent one of our kids and his new wife to Cancun for their honeymoon last year. Their flights were changed SIX TIMES. Utter chaos.
