> But Lucianna is critical of the fact the Egyptian navy had to rely on volunteers. "We waited 35 hours. I don't understand how there are no divers on the Egyptian military boats."
Why should divers risk their life to save anyone?! The boat was unstable, going inside would be dangerous! Some people are adrenaline junkies, and will volunteer for such thing, but you can not expect professionals to do that!
Some people are just wired differently. It's the difference between the person who will get out of their own car and help someone push theirs or the person who will intercede when someone is being assaulted instead of walking past. It's not adrenaline, it's the need to help. Luckily for others, some of us have this flaw.
I would bet there is a gulf of difference in equipment and training between rich countries' first responders and personnel on some random navy ship in poor and curruption-ridden Egypt.
Real life is not Paw Patrol! Watch latest interviews with firefighters from California!
Rescuers already put themselves into dangerous situation (operation on stormy sea). But at some point risks are too great, and there is no point to pile up more bodies. Or demand more rescuers, to rescue original rescuers...
Our society isn’t low-trust. It may not be as high trust as Scandinavia, but until you’ve lived in a real low-trust society you don’t know how bad it can get.
Why would the military navy or coast guard risk their lives to save some tourists from a sinking boat, when they could professionally watch from a distance through binoculars? /s
