I have it muted, what's he saying?

I disagree.

People act in different ways during adversity. Hence we have "gallows humour" amidst police, firefighters, paramedics, doctors, nurses, rescue personnel and so forth. I feel that it is wrong to assume that if a person cracks a smile during an ongoing event like this, that they are not taking it seriously. We've even had a few lighter moments on this thread. Expecting people to behave precisely as you think you would isn't an accurate judge of the seriousness and commitment they hold. I've seen these same accusations made about other disasters and from them, the conspiracy crowd grows.

Also, the Thai people do tend to smile and have an "it is what it is" attitude. It's their way of life, their armour. Life is still going on. Everyone is still serious, but finding a bit of relief in abject horror is what helps humans survive.

Definitely agree on the gallows humour -- imoo and imoe, yes, it is fairly standard for those together in a dark/calamitous situation; especially a prolonged one.
An outsider's perception isn't quite the same.

The volunteers and crew might joke lightly amongst themselves; but it's not out of disrespect to the crisis situation. Well, that's as a general rule, anyway - there still might be one or two dimwits in there.
But for the most part, they're just trying to put themselves, and each other, at ease.

7am Media are now being barred from entering the area around #ThamLuang cave complex. All media and people with nothing to do with the rescue who are presently inside the base must leave within the hour - TR ittipatNationTV #ThamLuang #13ชีวิตรอดแล้ว #ถ้ำหลวง #Thailand

WOW.....
Please tell me we'll be able to watch or be updated at least!

I interpret this as some of the children are already in transit

They have been instructed to clear the site and other stuff we already know.

Ugh just now my internet went down again and I have to use my phone and for some reason twitter doesnt let me sort by Latest so I have all these old tweets on my screen. Please you all post tweets and share whats on the live feed. Thank You!

I can barely hear him but I did hear something like "I don't know why we've been asked to clear out"...

 

[Gardener1850]

Which live feed are you guys watching? the ABC one isn't working for me anymore* but I have been having video issues all day (may be my internet). Is there another one? Thanks to those who can give updates on what is on the live feed!

Praying for each boy by name now.

*ETA: I just got ABC back after a browser refresh. I see a lot of movement!

 

[i.b.nora]

An English speaking reporter is saying that all the reporters, etc are being asked to leave the site (where the ABC Live Feed is) in the next hour.

 

[Seattle1]

Time to also update thread with links to the best "live streams" NEWS that have proven reliable and stable. TIA

Yes. He basically said they don't know why they all have to leave, but they were given an hour to get their things and get out.

 

[JerricaBenton]

Loads of vehicles leaving now!

 

[kmclaren]

Loads of vehicles leaving now!

No kidding! I wonder how long until the ABC camera goes offline?

It looks like the rescue of the 13 at #ThamLuang is going to take place today. All media and anyone not taking part in the rescue have been told to leave.

So I understand that to mean the children are on their way now. God speed !

 

[Bravo]

Surely some of the press will be positioned with a long lens. Want to keep seeing the activity so we have an idea.

I hope they leave their cameras and come back for them later!
