Re: Thai boys found safe in cave

They now have the challenge of getting them out.
They may have to teach them to dive .
Diving in a pot hole situation is not for the faint hearted but these are young boys and young boys are generally not faint hearted !
Even so it's not an easy operation .

Re: Thai boys found safe in cave

Found by two British divers...they asked can we leave today I was so sad for them. But they are found that's such a relief I read it may take months to get them out though.

It is awful that those poor boys could be stuck in that cave for a long time.

Re: Thai boys found safe in cave

I suppose the moral of the tale is not to take a load of kids into a cave.

Glad they have been found though.

Re: Thai boys found safe in cave

I can't think what they were doing going in there .
Maybe it was a treat after football practise boys are adventurous .
They were caught out by flash flooding .
I can't think of a more terrifying prospect of getting those children to dive out.
Diving in caves is perilous in the extreme even for experts .
Diving itself iis not that easy at first the urge to take off the mask and bolt for the surface is very strong !
I remember my first dive in clear tropical water !

Re: Thai boys found safe in cave

Getting these boys to safety is going to be very difficult, but at least they are alive and plans to get them out are being discussed.
I have great admiration for the British divers, who found them, and all the people who are working so hard to find the safest method.

This reminds me of when the miners were trapped in Chile, and the great joy when they were brought out, and I hope we can all shed the same tears of joy when these boys come home!

Re: Thai boys found safe in cave

Those divers and all the rescuers deserve Knighthood or some kind of real recognition for their bravery and expertise.

Those poor boys and their coach, how scared they must feel. Also, just imagine if this is your child in such danger, oh my goodness it doesn't bear thinking about.

I am praying for them all that somehow they get to safety.

So pleased to hear the divers reached them, the video was very emotional.

I'm imagining the response from the world will be of such relief and celebration when they reach safety.

In the circumstances that joke is in poor taste, imo.
