Helicopter landing in this Thai news video:

I just realized that since I don't speak Thai, that could have been from days past.

That isn't the right cave. The one in question is in northern Thailand near Chiang Rai. I made the same mistake a couple days ago.

Thank you!!!!! Fixed my post.

That temple is so incredible tho!

Elon Musk says in Thailand with mini-sub for cave rescue

"WASHINGTON: American space entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted that he was in Thailand on Tuesday (Jul 10) with a prototype mini-sub, at the flooded cave where five members of a youth football team remained trapped.

"Just returned from Cave 3," Musk said.

"Mini-sub is ready if needed. It is made of rocket parts & named Wild Boar after kids' soccer team. Leaving here in case it may be useful in the future.""


Snip

"There is no indication so far that Thai rescuers plan to use Musk's prototype."

I agree. Was glad I made the mistake.

Thai prime minister Prayut Chan-ocha met last night with families of the trappped young footballers overnight at Chiang Rai hospital. He told them:”no matter how much we spend no one complains about it. Life is the most important.”

I thought the Australian doctor was an experienced diver. I don't think he would need to be rescued.

I agree. I think at least the Australian doctor is still there and will be the last to be rescued. Boys and coach need to be first.

Baloney. I seriously doubt all the people who have converged on the scene in Thailand are credentialed news media. The two instances cited in the story would not be allowed in the U.S. where media have to abide by a code of professional ethics.

The police in the U.S. always push back media to distances where ever they want them especially when they are trying to provide privacy to a victim. Police radio frequencies are not all public in the U.S. In fact, many communities now are totally encrypting all police radio traffic. And there are laws concerning drones, their effect on air safety and interference with air craft.

The US is a bad example. The US is a police state. We are not high on press freedom, but we are way above Thailand. If this was the US, the press would have been allowed to stay at the cave entrance, and they would be allowed across the street from the hospital ER entrance. The US government would not openly threaten journalists as has the Thai government. Also police radio frequencies are public in the US, and reporters can report what they hear on them.

(British woman's voice in background maybe reporting “8 rescued children..” maybe same reporter from BBC)

It's now 8:45 AM Thailand time. I predict the 9th survivor will be brought out of the cave at around 10:45 -11:00 AM local time. What about you guys?

I so hope you are right, but I think we have another 6-7 hrs.

Imo they've already started. Maybe since sunlight. I think the Ambulance's starting arriving about half way through the mission.

Agree

(Ow the whistle in my ear)...lots of vehicles coming out again (and in) convoy. Trucks, don't see ambulance this time.)

That sounds about right to me!

 

[Ranchgirl]

I was a lifeguard..I could never blow a whistle like the soldier on the road to the cave. Very jealous

 

[Poppyflower]

I think I need to buy me a whistle. Forgot how much I needed one. For what? I don't know yet, but I do need one.

You could help your local police and direct some traffic, whenever the mood strikes you?

Take notes on how this guy does it. You're in training.

 

[margarita25]

Wow look at all these vehicles going in...3 just looked like dumptruck things...one loaded with soldiers possibly...so many military etc I assume coming in and out of those vehicles.

 

[KaaBoom]

Ack! Wrong info. nothing to see here.

Here is the exact location of the checkpoint at the cave, and the route to the hospital.

[Roxie Rosa]

wow...lots of workers going in and a dump truck it looks like?????

 

[rosesfromangels]

As we approach what I pray is the last leg of this miraculous mission, I'd like to point out that all these precious children would have perished early on if not for the valiant efforts of their beloved coach.
