Thailand - FOUND ALIVE - 12 Boys And Coach Trapped In Cave , 23 June 2018 #4

[CoverMeCagney]

Guardian confirms no5 is out. I think they've done a good job of covering this so far:

Thai cave rescue: fifth boy emerges, officials confirm, as rescue effort continues – live

Me too. Yesterday they were close together. Hoping there aren’t any complications.

I was hoping we'd hear confirmation of a second or third boy being out by now.

(Twins? Triplets? Bust out those triplets baby!!!)
(ETA like I said sanity break. See y’all in a few)

Reporting the boy is coming by helicopter to the airport near the hospital and it may be the one carrying the boy. Then he will come by ambulance the rest of the way. Landing area is south of the hospital (just heard a helicopter -- but it took a different oath from yesterday, so not sure if it is "our" chopper)

Spellbound, I had the same reaction thinking most were rescued. Guess we didn't sleep for THAT long. Fingers crossed they get them all out today.

As wonderful as it would be to have the young men all out today, that may not be realistic.

From what I understand, they are using 18 divers, working in teams of two. This doesn't necessarily mean that each pair is guiding one of the wild boars, some of them may be support in other phases, e.g getting kids/other divers hooked up to supplemental oxygen, making sure the guideline is still seated correctly helping to navigate some of the trickier bits. The dives are arduous, and they divers will need to rest. The space in the passages isn't large so they maybe cannot keep as much oxygen on hands as they'd like. They did have to resupply after four of the Wild Boars came out last night.

MOO, it would be lovely to have this nightmare over, but it cannot and ought not be rushed. I am glad such a team of experts is overseeing all this.

Thai cave rescue: First boy rescued on Monday, 8 still inside cave - CNN

Those still inside the cave are perched on a small muddy ledge 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) from the entrance, surrounded by floodwater and with a limited supply of oxygen.


The most dangerous part of the journey out of the labyrinth cave system is the first kilometer, during which they are required to squeeze through a narrow flooded channel

Rescuers need to hold the boys' oxygen tanks in front of them and swim pencil-like through submerged holes. Having completed this section, the boys are then handed over to separate, specialist rescue teams, who help assist them through the remainder of the cave, much of which they can wade through.

Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, in an interview with CNN affiliate Nine News Australia Monday, said that the remainder of the boys were also expected to be extracted in batches.
"Next couple of evacuations, I think they are going to bring the boys out in groups of four, so there will be two more groups, plus the soccer coach of course."

correction- 15 min. flight to hospital so total of 25 min from field
hospital (tents) to hospital.
Has anyone seen where the heli lands at hospital.
All the hospitals in my area have helipad on roof.

Helicopter should land at nearby airport, not hospital. (Ambulance from airport to hospital)
