>From the Hernado news:

Lloyd Morrison, 25, of Hudson drowned in May 1990 after he drifted away
from a group exploring the same sinkhole where Gaudenzi died. Morrison
was a licensed cave diver but had little experience diving in the
sinkhole where he drowned. Three months later, 29-year-old Tallahassee
resident Brent Potts was killed and another man was injured in a scuba
diving accident at the Eagle's Nest sinkhole 

  ********

   The real story is that Lunchbucket left his guidee while doing a deep
air dive, and Dustin Clesi, in the only decent thing he ever did in his
life, removed this storke as a guide. This is not the same as "drifted
away", but is much like the lame excuses used at the recent round of
death and accidents by the same crowd. Henry Kendall "drifted" into the
water by himself and died of natural causes in a recent version of the
same old story, which is if you put enough strokes together, you will
reach critical mass and soembody will get killed.

   I the second death, deep air was again the cause, with none other
than one Chrissy Brown at the helm. This was on a Jim King project,
where King had trimix, yet Potts was "eating cake". Chrissy "did
everything he could", including, clicking his heels, stomping his feet,
and reaching for his missing parts to no avail.

   Has anyone noticed that the same names and the same associations keep
appearing whenever there is a cluster or a death? 

   Notice the use of the term "exploring" to describe some strokes doing
a deep air dive. Sound familiar - nothing ever changes, does it?
