Thailand - FOUND ALIVE - 12 Boys And Coach Still Trapped In Cave , 23 June 2018 #2

[AlwaysShocked]

I think we all realize how very risky this rescue operation will be. The green sheeting most likely was installed to prevent cameras from recording any images of a non-living participant being brought out of the cave.

The twelve darling boys and their coach have the highest risk of death, of course. But each and every rescuer also remains at risk.

Continuing prayers for all involved.

I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. Everything says something different.

OK I'm not going any further without coffee, that's for sure. (That is no joke, I'm serious!)

(Eta: might help if I don't read backwards, I'm usually pretty good about that.)

Coffee????? I'm going have a double rum and coke to calm me! Then when they're all out safely I'm having more to celebrate!

Hey Margarita25

Pour me a cup of coffee too please.

We can sit and watch this miracle together.

I’m gonna have a beer!

Ugh I’m outlet shopping for clothes for my new job!! Since my last job I’ve lost almost 100 lbs and I was lucky that my friend let me borrow her suit for the interviews. This job kinda fell in my lap and I was not prepared to return to work this month after 2 back surgeries in March but I couldn’t pass this job up.

Keep me posted on what’s going on!!

Pumping specialist from the Dutch Van Heck Group arrived on site and says there are enough pumps, the problem is mainly the tight passages.

Every time we go cave diving in the Yucatán Peninsula, we use to pray to Chaac, god of not just rain but all waters, to let us go to Xibalbá (underworld, caves, Chaac’s home) and come back safe.
Chaac has just being invoked and honored a few minutes ago in a clear cenote, in the name of the young Wild Boars and their coach, some Xtabentun liquor offer included, for their safe return from Xibalbá.
Ha, ha, i know it’s silly, and nothing but an exercise on positive thinking, but pretty sure it won’t hurt.

Dear Kkdj,

Your words are so beautiful and touching.

Today is a good day for the miracle to continue. And it will.

My meditation group prayed and meditated at the same time as monks and spiritual leaders all over the world.

The experience was so moving.

It reminded me of all of you on this thread hoping and praying with heartfelt compassion.

The hope and deep compassion you all have expressed for these precious boys has been greatly moving.

Faith is immovable.

Hope does not diminish.

These boys will survive.

I think it gives us all hope that seemingly, the world has come together in action and prayer to help save these children.

What makes men put their lives at risk (and one sacrificed his life) to save children that are not their own? It's that deep calling, something that connects us all. Our souls?

Why do many of us keep coming to this forum and these threads to try to contribute, if "only" in prayer? It's some unspoken, undecipherable connection that compels us.

It's situations like this, as dire as this is, that somehow gives me great hope.

I have been to the most incredible cenote near Tulum, and it's indescribable beauty will stay with me forever. A great place to send up prayers indeed. And yes, it can't hurt...at all.

Almost all reporters near #Thamluangcave are convinced that an attempt is underway to rescue the boys football team and their coach. Officials are tight lipped and few very senior figures want to speak shortly off the record.

I’m gonna have a beer!

I'm still drinking Chardonnay. If I have much more, I will doze off. Better switch to coffee!

Congrats on the new job! Have fun shopping- a bit of retail therapy is good for the morale!

Has anyone confirmed how long a time delay on ABCLive?

I definitely think the rescue (diving) is underway. As exhausted as I am, I am hanging on through the night.

 

[AlwaysShocked]

I wonder I there is any way for them to somehow leave a monitor at the area where the boys are so they can definitively learn whether that area floods totally during the monsoon season. No matter what happens, I would think they'd want to know this.

I haven't been joining in with comments but I want y'all to know I've been here the whole time reading and pray while holding my great-grandbaby.

What are guys seeing on the Live feed?

 

[SugarQueen]

Zen, Angela B, and all of you kind, peaceful people have given me some new things to explore. I could use some of the calm and peace you share here. It’s truly beautiful. Thank you.

What are guys seeing on the Live feed?

Not much...green screens and a few officers standing around.

ETA: Does not appear to be raining.

I hope they got those people out of the SUV now.
