Thai authorities confirm that media must clear the #thamluangcave area in an hour so a rescue operation can take place. Kudos to the Thais for the way in which they have accommodated the world media and kept them briefed, not to mention fed and caffeined

Forgot my husband has vodka in the freezer. I'm bout' to fix me a drink.

Go for it. I’m on my ‘I think that’s enough’ glass of wine.

It appears the divers are heading in. Were there other divers seen earlier when I was away? If this is the first set going in it will be many, many hrs. TIA

I think another set went in a while ago.

Rescue of boys in #Thamluangcave may be underway - "Assessing the situation now, it is necessary to evacuate the area for the rescue operation," Mae Sai police commander said - "Please evacuate the area immediately." #ThamLuang #13ชีวิตรอดแล้ว #ถ้ำหลวง

I might go to the hospital just because I likely wouldn’t be able to be in the helicopter and I would want to stay with my child once I saw them. I think another close person would stay to greet when they came out though. That’s just me though

I don't think they can accommodate the families/even a mother to go with their child at this point. These kids will be a mess if they live through this.....hand them to the medical people. I would touch my kid though, dead or alive, I would want to know and see them.

Which is what they always do to parents after mass school shootings. I have no doubt the first boys out will be the frailest and that worries me greatly.

I am going to guess that they take the strongest boys out first. If the strongest, best swimmers/divers go first, they can see if the rest can make it through.

Plus, they will move the fastest, and not hold up the rest as they move on, one by one. I hope and pray the first ones make it through, which will build the confidence of the remaining boys.

Reminder when quoting Twitter -- the times stamp on the tweet is from the posters time zone....

I was wondering if they had it mounted somewhere discrete.

I doubt it’s Small enough.

I'm only just awake, is it really about to get underway? If so please let it go well. Please please please!

My concern is the dwindling O2 levels. The frailest are more susceptible the longer they stay in that dark, dank place.
