What they learn at faculty?

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

28.04.2007, in the natural cave near monastery of Ravanica, Serbia, 3 students and 1 lecturer died by carbon-monoxyde, which they have produced when starts pump with inner-combustion engine, in attend to pull out water from underground lake, at 1500 m inside the cave. Actualy, there was fifth member of that group, who is successfully escape from four smart guys and call for help, when rich the surface. They all were members of a Serbia's association of paleontologists from Belgrade, and students at Belgrade geological and mining faculty. In this final journey, they have all the necessary equipment, such as oxygen masks and oxygen tanks intact, just few steps from them. Tree students (23, 24 and 25 years old), and youg professor (35), will be buried on the state account, said Serbian Government Minister. Anyway, willagers from the nearby willage Senja, have no memories about something similar happened for several hundreds of years ago, as they visits this cave almost every day, but never starts inner-combustion engines inside.

Definitely Toss: Bystanders Hurt
This is generally a good story, but I would have to classify the students as bystanders, which unfortunately means an automatic toss! We GREATLY appreciate the submission, however, and hope you'll consider submitting again in the future!


Jack said:
Neutral: Darwin Award
I'm not so sure about this. Since all of them had the safety gear, I'm going to say they knew the risks and were not "bystanders," as we define the term. Sinisa, can you give us more information?


Graham said:
Definitely Toss: Lacks Excellence
Is it possible in this day and age that an entire group of people did not know the dangers of CO poisoning? I find that hard to believe. Given the ages here (and even a "professor"), here is conclusive proof that clever and intelligent are two very different concepts. Thanks, Sinisa.


Chip said:
Neutral: Darwin Award
I tend to think that a paleontologist would know the dangers of running an internal combustion engine in a cave and so would students from a mining college. I am not sure that you could class them as bystanders. I'll go with Jack on this and vote neutral and hope that Sinisa can provide additional details, such as the year in college of the students.
