Soccer team found in cave in Thailand but?

Eight. Two sets of four. That’s what I’ve read also. This is such heartwarming news to know some of the best divers in the world have come here to help save these boys,and possibly risk their lives.
It highlights the goodness of humanity so nicely. :heart:
 

The world is watching and holding it's breath. Wow. Incredible.

(Anyone remember when 18 month old Jessica McClure was stuck in a well hole in Texas for 58 hrs in 1987?)
 

Praying that all will be extracted alive with no more fatalities. Frankly I feel somewhat embarrassed that I never thought of Thailand as being that technologically advanced, with Seals & all, to plan & complete something so dangerous & complicated.
 
Just heard on the news ....They're all out....finally! All are said to be OK, general checkups in progress.
 
Glad to hear they all made it out.

I bet that coach has mixed feelings about getting out of the cave. He's got some serious explaining to do and I would imagine the possibility of facing trespassing and child endangerment charges as well.

I wonder if the Thai gov't will try to get reimbursement for the rescue from the coach or the players families?
 
I heard on the news about a week ago that Thailand is not blaming the coach.

What brave children. And some couldn't even swim. I have grateful tears. It's so scary in dark water like that.

(I know about underwater in total darkness because I went scuba diving in my 20's in CA and Mexico at midnight because that's when the lobsters come out. I was sharing an underwater flashlight my husband was using. I would look away, into the deep dark abyss, and trembled in fear for what might be heading my way)

Me too, Radish Rose...............These brave, selfless rescuers are nothing short of amazing human beings! Thank God for this outcome. I feel so sad though for the volunteer rescuer who lost his life....a hero nonetheless, to give his own life to rescue others.
 
I guess everyone is following this but on the News tonight they said that rains came as soon as the boys got out. The divers had gone back into the cave to retrieve all of their expensive gear...like 100 oxygen tanks.

While there, the rains filled up the first open area, then the second, then half of the third so the divers had to abandon all of their equipment and barely made it out in time.

I'm sure there will be global outpouring to pay for all that was lost and then some.

Whew, I hadn't seen this part yet. Maybe when the water recedes, some of those tanks might be recovered.

I feel sure the Thai government could cover the equipment but I wouldn't be surprised if the US and or other countries will host them to a visit to someplace special.

The leader of the Thailand cave rescue says a medic and three SEALs who stayed with the boys in their dark refuge are now out of the cave.

That "medic" is an Associate Professor from Adelaide University, and a fully qualified doctor, an anaesthetist. He is now in mourning for his father who died while he was in Thailand.

Hollywood already has people over there checking out the possibilities for making a movie about it....
 
I'm sure it would be very popular.

A similar movie was made about two Australians trapped in a tiny space when the roof of a gold mine in Tasmania collapsed. They were underground for two weeks. When rescued they were able to walk out. It was a big hit over here because we were all curious to know how you can survive being pinned down in a lying position for two weeks.
