Really cool! Thanks for this (and all your fab) post(s)
How about the lead diver carrying two tanks! Wow. Well, wearing one and carrying one, while battling the current!
Just wow. This whole mission - utterly incredible!

I doubt that he still gave his food after they were found. I read he gave whatever they had to the boys during the first days. Once they were found I'm sure everyone got enough food.

I know he has food since being found but he went without for much longer than the boys and with 'some' blaming him for this mess, who knows how much they have provided for him. He seems to be one of the ones in the worst shape from having given his food away for 9 days.

Im sure they are taking care of him now, as the world is watching.

The idea that they were going to hold him responsible is just sickening to me!

Either way it's very deep into the cave. So it's not like they were going to enter, write their names and exit quickly.

It depends where they intended to go. I said it before, the whole cave is 10km long, I doubt they planned to walk the whole length that Saturday afternoon - it would've taken all night! Probably the "back wall" is somewhere much closer to the entrance. jmo

Great graphic, tho wish they would add where the rest of the boys are at the moment. Did they pass the worst part yet, the 'choke point'?

Maybe they meant to go to the back, realized the water was coming up, and the fork threw them off and they were going the wrong way? I don't know. Just throwing out guesses.

All of their backpacks were found at the fork, when they went left. Did they leave them there to go write on the wall at the end to the left?

.... or did they leave them there because they were running from the rising Waters?

That is something I would like to know. Thankfully they did that so that the divers knew that they had gotten it that far.

That had me in awe the first time I saw a graph like that! Such bravery in these divers! Those tanks aren't small, either. Really made me choke up to realize what exactly these rescuers are putting on the line to save these boys.

Thank you for mentioning this. I, too, have wondered about the "back story" in this situation and have not found anything indicating how the boys and their coach ended up in the cave. I did see somewhere that it was in "initiation ritual" of some sort. Does that mean that this activity is common for young football players? Who authorized the field trip, or whatever the expedition was called? Has the coach (or other coaches) done something like this previously? Were the parents informed beforehand that their youngsters might be going into one of these treacherous caves? Did the parents sign off on this "field trip" knowing the possible safety issues? Do the parents have any recourse against the coach or whoever sponsors the football team?

Someone's got a lot of explaining to do, but I'm not quite sure who is or can be held responsible for the poor judgement exercised in these near-tragic circumstances.

I don't know if this will work, but I posted in the past thread and copied it to here:

Interesting article about how the boys spent their day before entering the cave and a bit about a few of them and their interests. it's a WSJ article and I could not read it on their page (have to be a subscriber or only allowed a few per month, I think) ‘Where Have You Guys Been?’: Thai Cave Challenge Quickly Became a Trap

Differing reports about whether the weakest or strongest came out first.....wonder why the confusion?

I read the Australian doctor checked them over on Saturday our time and decided to take the weakest first.

Yet, they are leaving the coach for last and he must be very weak as he gave his food to the kids. He's gone for 2 weeks with no food and I read he cannot move!!!

Link Please, as I have never seen posted here or read anywhere that he cannot move.

Did you look at the cave map? If they were close to the entrance, and run from the flood, I fail to see how they could have ended up so far away, considering there are higher elevation areas much closer to the entrance.

Have you ever been to one of Ripley's museums where they do things that are out of perception. When you are underground and or many places I have been, you really don't understand which is up and which is down at the time. They probably or just running from the water?

Sorry I was replying to your statement "He's gone for 2 weeks with no food" which I highly doubt.

You really believe the rescuers withheld food from him?

I agree he should not be charged.

hi i b nora

have not seen you in ages

hope all is well

Sorry - haven't read the whole thread, but could little Red be suffering from asthma? Even if he was not asthmatic before, I would suspect weeks in a damp cave coupled with the stress of the rescue could trigger an asthma attack.

I would consider this rumor at this point.

Okay my dears-- I'm for bed. It's past midnight and I have to do a bunch of things in the morning.

Thank you all for hanging on in this event. It warms the heart to see so many people from all over the world, from many faiths and lifestyles and learning coming together for our Wild Boars. We see it here, and we see it in the international effort to rescue all of our young men. It's a pleasure to behold.

Now it is time for the resupply teams go in and set up more oxygen and checking the guide ropes, and I hope all of the divers, all of the rescuers can get a bit of a rest and feel that our collective arms are around them.

A few more hours until our next miracle! And of course we are all hoping for updates on our first four Wild Boars-- may they all be in good health. Why stop at just one or two miracles, right?

May you all be blessed as well. Catch you all later!

I wondered the same. I have asthma and know that the cave environment, coupled with the stress these boys have endured, would be enough to trigger the onset of a major asthma episode. At the very least, I hope divers who brought food and medical supplies included fast-acting rescue inhalers for those boys known to be asthmatic or others who might have had difficulty breathing in the damp environment.

Can you give links to your live feeds?

Per the article, weather reports were predicting "high chance of heavy rain across Norther Thailand." How about the coach looking at weather report, or is that too much to ask?

Watching HLNas an ambulance was leaving, one could see several people through the back doors smiling, laughing hugging and giving high fives.
