I don't think that question should be answered publically. At least not if the answer is based on personal opinion (which most answers are).

Last time the Finnish guys were in this mine, they got banned for blatantly disobeying the rules.

Please do send me a PM, I am really interested in knowing more and finding out the answer to my question.

That ban is good news regarding this diving site: it shows they have rules regarding safety and they also enforce them.
The Finnish guys in question seem to have nothing to do with this incident.

Simple: it isn't.
And the one incident that got so amazing much press was in Norway, which is no longer a part of Sweden BTW.

So now the Finnish are dying diving in more countries, this is actually much worse now. They got banned/kicked out of one country, they go on to another country and do the same stupid thing and die. Do the Finnish inherently have problem with rules and following safety guidelines???

All Finns do not behave in the same manner any more than all persons from your country jump to conclusions and repeatedly make unfortunate, disrepectful accusations.

This incident looks a lot like no one did anything whatsoever wrong. In view of this, it is inappropriate to continue this mudslinging. It is disrespectful and not useful to the conversation. Please use a more respectful tone regarding the deceased, in this thread and in all similar ones.

I will not be continuing this conversation here or elsewhere.

This kind of accidents are very unfortunate and my condolences to the family of deceased and her diving buddies.

But the sad truth is, this was at least third mine/cave accident in a couple of years span that happened abroad to a Finnish diver: Norway, France, Sweden.

As a Finn, I feel my duty is to ask: Is it just bad luck or is there a deeper psychological / sociological explanation to it?

I will ask the Mods that this question be moved to it's own thread. Perhaps to discuss national mindsets in general and their possible relation to accidents. The discussion does not belong in this thread.
