emptychair I wonder if Lucas took one of his surf boards out to rescue the girl, as with waves that strong, he might have gotten into trouble himself too, otherwise. Or, maybe, he was a strong swimmer. Well, done to rescue the girl.

emptychair My concern is the wrong people using it for the wrong reasons, but if the right people use it for the right reasons, it can be a boon for us, as it provides tailored answers to questions, with more detail than just the old google search ever did.

emptychair It would be interesting to know how the dog got into the river. That is a lot of costly resources to rescue the dog, and it shows how animal welfare is given a high priority, even from such authorities. It was good the dog was rescued, and will probably...

emptychair Maybe she was not experienced enough to handle such a climb. It costs a lot of money to rescue these people, who are usually a bit reckless in what they endeavour to do, but it was good that she was rescued, and will recover fully.

emptychair I wonder why not first degree kidnapping. I wonder what the back story is here. It does look to be like a family dispute of some sort, behind it all. Perhaps, the lady was running off with the children, for some reason.
