A woman who got wedged between rocks for seven hours after she tried to retrieve her phone has been rescued.

Emergency services were called to bushland in the Hunter Valley wine region earlier this month following reports of a woman being stuck between two boulders.

The NSW woman had tried to retrieve her phone from between the rocks but had slipped, fallen down a three-metre crevice, and was hanging upside down.

I’m not sure what the ill effects of hanging upside down trapped for SEVEN hours might be.  Humans aren’t designed for that challenge.  

I hate to be crass  —  or is it cravass  — but who pays for the rescue?  I’ll bet the Taxpayers.

Sigh!

ConspiracyTheories: MH370 theory about murder suicide

Friday, February 23, 2024

Pilot explains how those in charge of MH370 could have easily carried out a plot to deliberately crash

  •     Mike Glynn is a retired Qantas pilot
  •     He believes the pilot of MH370 could have depressurised the cabin 
  •     READ MORE: Why we may never know what happened to the MH370

A retired Qantas pilot has opened up on what may have happened during the mysterious MH370 flight that disappeared almost 10 years ago.

Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 vanished over the South China Sea during a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China, on March 8, 2014.

The puzzling case made headlines across the world as it seemed the plane, which carried 239 people – including six Australians, disappeared without a trace.

Just one week after the plane was downed, then-Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak claimed there was a ‘high degree of certainty’ communications with MH370’s cockpit were deliberately cut.

One popular theory is the crash was a murder-suicide at the hands of captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, but it has never been confirmed by authorities.

*** and ***

British aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey last month accused the Malaysian Government of abandoning its search for MH370.

He claims the government did not want to invest any more funding into the mission, despite several calls from victims’ families to relaunch search efforts last year.

‘In my view, the Malaysian government does not want the cause of the crash of MH370 to be known,’ he told the Sydney Morning Herald.

‘It does not help to speculate what the motives of the Malaysian Government might be with regard to MH370.’ 

*** end quote ***

Sad to say but this “story” does nothing to answer the questions or prove that it was a murder – suicide.

INTERESTING: A crab annual migration that sparks traffic jams

Sunday, November 6, 2022

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11371617/Red-Crabs-migrate-Christmas-Island-millions-rainforests-ocean.html

Incredible moment tens of MILLIONS of red crabs march across a remote island – in annual migration that sparks traffic jams every year

  • Millions of red crabs have begun their annual migration across Christmas Island
  • More then 65 million crabs will trek 20km from the forests to the ocean to breed
  • The population has grown substantially due to the suppression of invasive ants

A sea of red has washed over picturesque Christmas Island – as tens of millions of red crabs march from the rainforests to the coast to breed.

*** end quote ***

How do the crabs know the calendar, phase of the moon, and high tide?

I love the “flyover bridge” that was constructed for their use.

And the signboard that tells drivers what roads are closed do to the migration.

Amazing that humans would allow themselves to be inconvenienced by nature.

Demonstrates how little we know and how out of tune we are with the world.
