He said she was again warned by the guide but that it was "very difficult to discriminate".

Lovely....people have their lives placed at risk as a direct result of this woman's bone-headedness as well as the cave tour operator's apparent fear of a 'discrimination' backlash.

Political correctness will be the death of us all one day, it seems.

And she'll probably end up suing the tour operator anyway for "humiliating" her by letting her get stuck.

the other tourists took the ordeal "exceptionally well".

How does he know what people were thinking? Not everyone is a mouthy, rude jerk when they become inconvenienced.

Inside, I'd be really annoyed, but I might not show my anger out of plain manners.

No drilling equipment was needed and the woman was eventually freed with a pulley and paraffin used to grease the surface

Story sounds kind of familiar.

What a dumb bunch. I would NOT have been "taking it well" but then I would NOT have been in there because I am claustrophobic. Also if someone could climb over fatso to get insulin to the kids, why couldn't the kids, at least, have climbed over her to get out?

BTW I think I sat next to this woman on a flight a few years ago. Obviously I am still bummed out over it too.

One rescuer was able to climb over the woman to deliver insulin to the diabetic.

So why didn't the "trapped people" just climb over the woman? or at least the diabetic person, or the asmatic children?

Maybe the should have eaten their way out.....

She lost her footing and went down in a splits position.

That hurts just reading it. Hopefully this incident inspires her to lose some weight.

Not really.
