AI Thread Summary
Duangpetch Promthep, the captain of the Thai football team rescued from a cave in 2018, was found unresponsive in his dorm room in the UK, leading to speculation about the cause of his death. Initial reports suggested he died from an accident, but details remain unclear. The discussion draws parallels to the death of a Thai cave diver who succumbed to an infection a year after the rescue, hinting at potential health complications stemming from the cave incident. Additionally, the conversation references the historical figure Ramanujan, who faced health issues after moving to England, suggesting that environmental factors may play a role in health outcomes for individuals with pre-existing conditions.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
