Thailand - FOUND ALIVE - 12 Boys And Coach Trapped In Cave , 23 June 2018 #5

[Angela_Beckett]

So grateful and humbled by this lesson of unbreakable will, resilience, sacrifice, and love for the sake of love, selfless, pure and fierce;

Hope the lives of everyone that reach out to help in whatever way is better from this point on, even Elon’s.

Am I the only one who feels like they're shouting the words in their head while typing these posts?

Clarification - the Thai news agency MThai has reported the Thai doctor and three seals are out. I’m now told they are on their way out of #thamluang but not out yet. #thaicaverescue

Crap! I guess you were editing as I was typing "yippie"...

So happy that the team and coach are out. So happy that so many volunteered to help in this dangerous mission.

RIP - Petty Officer Saman Gunan

Good grief, I have never ever seen so much confusion in reporting as we’ve seen here.

I feel it is a better world for me and others knowing that all these helpers exist!!! Risking their lives, businesses, fields....love to them all!

I need to take my kitty foster family to the vet now. Mama and her 3 kittens need shots. They'll be up for adoption soon!

This has been a wonderful thread, too! <3 Love is in the air!!!

*hugs* and *tight squeezes*

They did it! They totally 100% did it! I am still blown away!

I hope a cash remuneration comes along with the verbal thanks. Many of these people took time out from their lives, and it cost them wages they could ill afford. Then there are the rice fields that need repair and the lost crops. It would be nice if there were a fund set up for the family of the Thai Seal.

I believe money says thank you in a very practical way.

Very Good Post, thank you Trident.
This is a very poor area of the world. For so many to give up their
time to help out with no thought of renumeration is just magnificent, IMO.
Also wished some of the uber-rich world citizens would have contributed in some small way.

Do we know if the Aussie doctor and Brit divers are out?

 

[Shiressleuth]

Just thinking about how long it will take to remove the equipment from the cave. I wonder if they'll wait until after the monsoon.

I think they might- what do you think? The death of one guy is one too many.

So glad everyone else is out safe and sound and can recover.

I haven't been able to read all the 191 posts in the last couple of hours - had to get some work done :-(

Hooyah

 

[enelram]

And also now these poor boys' families have a week long hospital bill
to worry about. Where's Oprah and Bill Gates?

I've not yet heard if they are and I am here in Oz where big attention is given to this. If I hear anything bad about the dive teams, I'll let you know. But so far, so good. Chin up, love!

I can't go to sleep until I know the rest of the SEALs and the Doctor are safely OUT!

 

[CoverMeCagney]

The doctor is out. My friend has been manning media calls to his office (wish I’d known a week ago!) and had a call about an hour ago to say he’s out. Not sure about the others.

 

[*Verdigris]

The Brit divers are out,
Doctor and three Thai SEALs close to being out...
(last report...)
ETA, Aussie Dr is out..
the Dr in there is Thai Dr (I think - subject to change)

 

[KaaBoom]

One more ambulance arrived at the hospital. There should still be a couple of more. But some reports are that they are all at the hospital now.

What wonderful news!

All boys and coach rescued from Thai cave

​

Over the past week we have called in to chat to Nopparat Kanthawong, the head coach of the Wild Boars football team, and usually found him talking tensely on the phone to parents of the boys. He went over and over the events of the day the boys went into the caves with his assistant after football practice. He says he had no idea they were going.
Tonight there was an entirely different atmosphere in the house, just below the mountains where the men who run the Wild Boars meet. They laughed, shouted cheers and shook hands in a very un-Thai way. And coach Nop was smiling for the first time, and almost speechless.
"I don’t know what to say – I just want to see them, and hug them," he told me.
I was then able to show him a note from Manchester United to the rescued boys. It was an invitation to visit Old Trafford next season, as most of the boys are passionate Man U fans. There was a little disbelief, and then elation, even from coach Nop, who admits he is a Liverpool fan who has failed to convert the rest of his team. "Is this for real?" they asked.
Getting them to UK from this far-flung border town will be a challenge. Three of the boys and coach Ekapol, who was with them in the caves, are not recognised as full Thai citizens, a fairly common problem for communities along the Thai-Myanmar border. But they just made an almost miraculous escape from a cave. They will probably make it to Manchester

It was reported that the PM told them that they needn’t worry about the cost.
