Thai and international rescue divers should by now have reached the 12 boys and their football coach, who have been trapped for 2 weeks inside a flooded cave, and be preparing the first and strongest of the team for the perilous underwater extraction

12:34 AM - 8 Jul 2018

OK, that's it -- I think I just need to conk myself in the head, and not wake up for about three days, and then check the progress...

Thai cave rescue underway: officials confirm operation has begun – live updates

"Just to remind readers just waking up in the UK, officials have cleared the 1.5km section between the cave entrance and chamber three sufficiently that people can walk along it."

OMG Jax I want to hug you right now.

I told you guys the BRITS had it from the beginning..

Those kids must have been so impressed when two men from the land of their favorite soccer teams popped their heads out the water and started speaking in English!

(Hey remind me later when we're not in the middle of an extraction to reply to this...)

What I think is that they've split the boys into groups of four. The first four will be in the first 24 hours and these will be the boys who have best physical and mental condition, and who have taken best to going underwater with the mask and maintaining breathing and calmness. And then the next group have 24 hours of extra nourishment, a bit more practise, and rest periods. And then the next four. And then the coach and the remaining medic-divers who would stay behind until the last of the Mae Sai 13 are safely out... and worst case scenario they stay a bit longer with them.

JMO.

Sounds good - just hoping the water doesn't rise for the weaker ones. An extra day of build-up sounds good, but not if the water rises. But it will go down.
Yes, of course. It WILL go down.

FTR if certain possible suspic inconsistencies need to be reevaluated, knock on

I tried it earlier, didn't work. (FOR REAL, just not via blunt force trauma).

Thai cave rescue: a timeline

"Sunday, July 8 -

Authorities announce that, with more heavy rain expected soon, the extraction operation has begun.

Thirteen "world class" foreign divers and Thai Navy Seals enter the cave as the rescue begins.

They say the first boy is expected out at 9pm (1400 GMT) but that the operation would take two to three days to complete, and that the weather would also play a role in the timeframe."

Translated from Thai family spokesman of trapped Son, speaking about the Coach-- He wanted everybody to be reminded that the boys left their shoes outside with their bicycles and bags, and for 9+ days, their feet were cut and had abrasions so Coach kept them calm and very still to preserve their energy and heal their bodies, constantly reminding them they would be found soon. There is only love for Coach....

Officials are planning to send the boys to the Chiangrai Prachanukroh hospital, almost 60 miles from the cave, after they are freed.

A number of trolleys now sit by the main entrance in anticipation of their arrival.

Wild Boars coach Akkapol Chanthawong wrote a letter of apology to the parents of the 12 boys trapped with him in the cave complex.

All the kids are fine. There are people taking really good care of them.I promise I will take care of the children the best I can. Thank you for your support. I'm really sorry to the parents.

In response, the boys' parents have assured him that they don't blame him for the tragedy that has seen the soccer team trapped underground for more than two weeks.

Dear Coach Ake, We, as your soccer team member's parents believe in you and your spirit that you've been taking a good care of our kids. We just want you to know that this is not your fault. We all here don't blame you and just want you not to blame yourself. We all understand all the situations that have happened and we are here supporting you. We appreciate all your loving support and care to our kids. We are waiting for the news that you all get back out of the cave safely soon. Your aunt is also here waiting for you at the entrance.

Tanawat Viboonrungruang, the father of Chanin Viboonrungruang, also known as Titun, reiterated that the families aren't blaming the 25-year-old coach.

"We don’t want him to blame himself and feel any guilt. We all understand that this is an accident and it’s (a) natural disaster in the rainy season," he told CNN.

"We can’t anticipate what will happen... No one here will take this as his fault."

How a 25-year-old former monk kept the Thai football team alive

For many in Thailand, Ekapol, who left his life in the monkhood three years ago and joined the Wild Boars as an assistant coach soon after, is an almost divine force, sent to protect the boys as they go through this ordeal. A widely shared cartoon drawing of Ekapol shows him sitting cross-legged, as a monk does in meditation, with 12 little wild boars in his arms.

According to rescue officials, he is among the weakest in the group, in part because he gave the boys his share of the limited food and water they had with them in the early days. He also taught the boys how to meditate and how to conserve as much energy as possible until they were found.

"If he didn't go with them, what would have happened to my child?" said the mother of Pornchai Khamluang, one of the boys in the cave, in an interview with a Thai television network. "When he comes out, we have to heal his heart. My dear Ek, I would never blame you."​

I agree, I want him (coach) to be a hero and not get in trouble. It was a dumb accident, they happen.

I can't figure out how to post this schematic (in this article) but it is the one I've been looking at. Is it wrong?

Thailand cave rescue: where were the boys found and how can they be rescued?
