I dont know why the other students didn't notice either... I cant imagine the pain these people must feel to this day.
The owners were British and on leave at the time. The Ops manager was Australian and left to dry by the owners with no support. They didn't even bother to get back from leave.
Until recently one of the coaches couldn't leave the country as his passport was held back by the authorities.
What really happened at the pool... who knows.
