Thai rescuers evacuate cave area, rescue bid for trapped boys seen imminent

THAM LUANG CAVE: Thai authorities on Sunday (Jul 8) said they plan to evacuate an area around a cave in northern Thailand where a dozen boys and their soccer coach have been trapped so that a “rescue operation” can take place.

The announcement came as dark monsoon rainclouds loomed over the mountainous north of the country early on Sunday, potentially heightening risks at the cave where rescuers were still waging a “war with water and time” to save 12 trapped boys and their assistant coach.

Veena Thoopkrajae and Michael Safi have left the cave site as instructed by Thai officials and are on their way to a press conference where we hope they will be given an update from officials about today’s activities at the site.

Veena has this video from the site as they drove out.

I read it was the King of Thailand who paid for the whole thing. Write him a thank you note. But plenty of folk volunteered to run it all.

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

Oh my! The first time I’ve ever had a post brought over from another thread and I’m talking about my alcohol consumption. My less than 15 seconds of fame. Lol. Cheers!

Thailand cave rescue: Rescue of soccer boys and coach underway

Paywall.

Bravo! You asked about divers. I saw what I believe to be the group of British divers bright and early like 7 ish their time.
They came in a group walking up the hill and several British
reporters and photographers followed them up the hill taking pictures of them.

Probably from the British Cave Rescue organization. They said they had send more divers.

Amanda Hodge posted a couple of live videos just before she left, good walkabout of the area - very muddy.

Perhaps, but I have a niggling feeling the first “delivery” is well on it’s way; thus, clearing people out.
