There may be something allegorical in this story. Certainly it's captured world headlines for a couple of weeks, and why not, it has everything. The rank stupidity of which humans are capable; our caring for our communities even wider communities, and especially for children; and then the bravery and ingenuity of humankind to get them out. All bar one Thai Navy Seal who perished along the way.
It would have been so depressing if this story didn't have a happy ending!
