Does anyone know if there's a system of continuous communication with the doc and people still inside?

The Reuters camera is at the road entrance and there are clearly reporters/photogs around it. But I have no idea how far away from the cave entrance they are.

Folks, please forego the posts with religious connotation. As kind as your thoughts are, we have members and guests viewing from all over the world, from all walks of life, and not everyone is of the same persuasion. It is offensive to some and that is why WS does not allow religious discussion.

Thanks.

The ambulances say “ambulance”. There are similar vehicles that say “police”...I think the other vans are transporting personnel moo

I couldn't sleep at all last night, just my usual insomnia.
Stayed awake today to wait for my grocery delivery and now I'm ready to sleep I just can't leave here til all the boys and coach and everyone is safely out.
