Thai cave rescue: Storm clouds pressure rescuers to get boys out - CNN
There was some heightened activity around the time the monks arrived & departed, but it's been pretty normal besides that.He all. I’m watchimg the live stream as well and this is what it looked like all day yesterday. They even had what looked to be a shift change right in front of the camera.
Thai authorities believe they have a three- to four-day window to free 12 boys stranded inside a northern Thailand cave and will focus on reducing the dangers of the rescue operation as much as possible until rain or increasingly toxic air inside the chamber forces them to act.
Narongsak Osatanakorn, the governor of Chiang Rai province, said on Saturday the operation to drain water along the 3.2km path to where the boys have been sheltering for the past fortnight has been “very successful” and withstood patches of rain.
“Today it rained but the water level is still at a satisfactory level,” he said.
But rainfall is forecast to grow more intense in coming days and become torrential by early next week, giving rescuers only a few days to extract the boys and their 25-year-old coach before they could be sealed off until as late as January, he said.
“[The next] three to four days from now is the most favourable time for the operation and rescue mission using one of the action plans,” Osatanakorn told a press conference at the cave site. “If we wait too long, we don’t know how much rainwater will come.”
