Crazy driving a coach into caves in the first place imo.

Miracle, i suppose their would had been plenty of water.

By:
12 boys and coach found alive in Thailand !
Must have found something to eat in caves ! - Yes, 13 boys went in ![]() Actually you go can go surprisingly long without food, it's water you really need. |

Had my gallbladder removed and operation went wrong had bile leak with tube emptying into a bag from my side,on a self induced morphine aid,never ate anything for 10 days although was on drip i'd inmagine you could go a long while without food..

By:
Great news they've been found -- and by plucky Brit cavers: a firefighter and an internet engineer, apparently.
Trouble is it now looks like the boys could be stuck there for weeks while the authorities figure out a way to extricate them. |
|
By:
It is indeed a miracle. Down there 10 days.
4 months worth of supplies sent down. |

By:
Read this, this morning. Great news but not over yet... water levels could rise!

Emergency evacuation would probably be full-face masks and 2 divers per kid leading out.
One facing face to face swimming backwards and one behind carrying kid's tank and steadying direction. |
|
By:
If they are worried about panic then rather than teaching the kids to dive, it might be easier and quicker to knock them out and transport them one at a time unconscious in an oxygenated "coffin".

12 young boys and a football coach fumbling around in the dark looking for a shaft. Sounds like something from the 70's.

Stalagmites for goalposts, mmm, isn't it

Muscles have degenerated apparently through lack of food and not moving around. Could be days getting them fit enough to attempt anything.

Bloody hell - what an idea.
We need Ramruma on the next flight to Bangkok, controlling operations. |

What a turn of events
![]() Ex navy diver drowns taking them oxygen overnight ![]() I wonder if they will even tell them inside what happened? |
|
By:
this is horrific, even heard on bbc that to get them out some of them need to be taught to swim.
|
|
By:
International Rescue would get them out in 45 minutes. I suggest Virgil in Thunderbird 2 pod 5 carrying the mole.

By:
They are going to have to ask another country for help , why can’t they ask the British military and engineers what can be done ?
|
|
By:
The coach has caused all this by taking them into a cave system where he must have known there was a possibility of it flooding.
Should be charged with manslaughter now the diver has died ! |
|
By:
think that south african bloke with bizarre name has offered help
|
|
By:
Remember the Russian submarine case a few years ago when the Russians refused help from America and others and everyone on board died
The Russians didn’t even tell their own people |
|
By:
The whole thing sounds very 'broke back mountain' to me
Why did the guy take a junior football team into a secluded area? |
|
By:
Don't be silly, Leo. Dusty too, for that matter
![]() Very sad with the diver and let's hope they get the water levels low enough before Sunday's predicted rains. |

detraveller was it a Thai navy seal who died ?
|
|
By:
I think so
|
|
By:
Was he a volunteer , and is the area crawling with volunteers
It was british divers who found the boys , they are the best in the world |
|
By:
Yes, apparently an ex military diver.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
So it’s very simple , the British military should be there , or American
What’s wrong with that , you really will have to get over yourself |
|
By:
Ok. British divers are among the best in the world. And british or american military should be there.
God bless the Queen. |
|
By:
I am saying the Thai authorities should be asking the British military and engineers ,
If they have done that fine , have they ? |
|
By:
Yes you moron, the american military is already there. As i siad, people from over 30 nations helped in the search(incl 30 american military experts)and there is no reason why they wouldnt have been asked to help in the rescue as well.
I am not sure if british military has gotten involved yet. But they are usually only required when its a fake war and the americans need sheep. Something like this, the americans can handle themselves, especially with the australians nearby, who are also there before you blame that too on Russia. |

A former Thai Navy SEAL has died while trying to rescue the team of young footballers trapped in a cave in Thailand.
Saman Kunan, 37, died due to a lack of oxygen in the tunnel, said Commander Arpakorn Yookongkaew. Kunan was trying to reach a cavern set up as a command centre 1.2miles inside the cave system when he ran out of air at 2am local time. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/navy-seal-diver-dies-after-running-out-of-oxygen-taking-supplies-to-trapped-thai-soccer-team-revealing-just-how-dangerous-it-will-be-to-get-children-who-can-barely-swim-out-of-the-cave-system/ar-AAzElhM?ocid=spartanntp . RIP Saman ![]() |

From that MSN article, "The boys told rescuers they have heard dogs barking, roosters crowing and children playing despite being 800 metres underground.
This has led officials to think there may be another way out through a 'chimney hole' to the surface." First I'd heard this. Could be very great news! |

Yes trilby, they even have had access to fresh air over the course of the 9 days but people have still been searching for the path of that air, hoping it could be an escape point. They still haven't been able to figure that out.
After the ex navy guy's death, I am pretty sure they have ruled out forcing the kids to dive. Its a 5 hour journey for the navy seals, you can imagine how hard it would be for 11-16 year olds who can't even swim. Not happening. They will most probably be there till the monsoon season is over. Unless they come up with a solution like Musk has suggested(easier said than done). |

It only became a secluded area becasue their return path was blocked by the flood.
Pardon? |
