They might be a lot more forgiving then people are here, specially being the coach kept the kids alive in there for 9 days and didn't take any food for himself but saved it for the kids.
He made a mistake, but after they were there it's 100% sure those kids wouldn't have lived with out him, so he might be looked at as a villain but also maybe a hero. Here he would be charged with out a doubt because someone always has to be blamed..

we're a nation of laws, it's not about having to blame someone for something.
the simple facts remain, the coach is not off the hook regardless of how many think he's a hero or not. someone died, millions of money was spent on rescue,etc. the sign may state the rain starts july 1 but the weather obviously did not read the sign. If I were in charge of things, I certainly would not have led that group into that cave just days before July 1 and I would have checked the weather first. it's not like it's hard to get the day's forecast.
