Wow! That was quick! Confirmed that the first two are out. The millions of litres pumped out must have made the journey time much shorter.
Brilliant!
Brilliant!

CNN is showing a lot of video inside the cave taken over the past week. You can see literally hundreds of people inside there. Most look like teenagers just standing around holding some cable or rope. One person every 4 feet seemingly for kilometers inside the cave. They whole thing looked like a circus. Plus the insistence that Thais lead the rescue to preserve national dignity. Too much media, too much grandstanding, not enough direct action, from what I can see. They should have kept everyone else away but the professional, international rescue divers and their direct support staff straight away.

You are obviously a cave rescue expert and I can only assume that you are on site?McPhisto wrote:CNN is showing a lot of video inside the cave taken over the past week.

operation on hold cause they ran out of Oxygen tanks, no idea why they didn't have a compressor on site to refill them.

Firstly, it's 4 boys, as reported on here by violet 12 hours ago.over the rainbow wrote:3 boys and the coach out now.
Secondly, no mention of the coach, who said he wanted to be in the last group to leave.
The rescue operation is about to resume now.

I'm only repeating what others say. The Bangkok article is the only one I see saying the coach is out.springrain wrote:Firstly, it's 4 boys, as reported on here by violet 12 hours ago.over the rainbow wrote:3 boys and the coach out now.

What a fantastic heart warming story. Doesn't it just fill you with pride to be British? In just a couple of weeks us English will be known throughout Thailand NOT as a bunch of whore mongering drunkards, but as the nation that not only saved 13 petrified Thai boys in a cave, but also the nation that won sports biggest prize in the World Cup.
Hey, interesting that all the worlds media have this as their main news coverage yet relatively speaking zero coverage of the still 11 missing tourists (was 59 missing tourists), from the boat accident in Phuket no?

Fifth boy out already!
Update: And a sixth.
Presumably, two others won't be far behind.

Definitely a cluster fuck, especially early on. Very poor handling by the Thai authorities who were both overwhelmed and mesmerized by the media attention they received. With the 24/7 press video coverage you don't have to be onsite to see that nor a cave rescue expert understand that it should have been handled much better much earlier. Thank goodness for the foreign expertise in logistics that saved the day.McPhisto wrote:CNN is showing a lot of video inside the cave taken over the past week.
