Sorry if this is a repeat post:
Hooyah!

• All twelve members of a boy’s football team and their coach have been rescued, after being trapped in a cave in Thailand for 18 days. The Thai navy Seals, who have been running the operation, confirmed that all 13 were out. “We are not sure if this is a miracle, a science or what”, the Seals said on their Facebook page.
• Three navy seals and a doctor, who had been with the boys, emerged safely from the cave several hours later. The four boys and their coach rescued on Tuesday have been airlifted to hospital to join their eight teammates rescued on Sunday and Monday.
• The news has been greeted by global jubilation and the rescue workers have been lauded by world leaders. Donald Trump tweeted “great job” and Theresa May said: “The world was watching and will be saluting the bravery of all those involved.”
• Fifa has confirmed that the rescued boys will not be able to attend the World Cup final on Sunday as previously hoped. Doctors have said they need to remain in hospital for at least seven days. Manchester United, who most of the boys support, have invited the boys to Old Trafford next season.
  
• The final rescue operation began at 10.08am local time on Tuesday as the first eight boys, freed in operations on Sunday and Monday, recuperated at a hospital in the nearest city, Chiang Rai. The authorities said preparations for the final rescue mission were unaffected by heavy overnight rain.
  
• Jesada Chokedamrongsuk, a physician from the Thai ministry of public health, said the eight boys rescued on Sunday and Monday were “cheerful”. Two boys among the first batch to be freed, who he said were aged between 14 and 16, had shown possible signs of pneumonia and all had low temperatures when they arrived.
• The rescued boys are being kept in isolation to avoid the risk of infection, but the first batch have been seen by their parents through a glass window. They are not yet allowed to eat the rich Thai food they’ve been requesting - so far it’s diluted porridge, bread, and some chocolate.
• The office of Thailand’s prime minister has thanked the tech entrepreneur Elon Musk for his offers of help. Officials praised his mini-submarine but said it was not needed. Musk praised the “outstanding rescue team” but questioned the expertise of the official who turned down his submarine.

Thailand cave rescue: all 12 boys and coach successfully rescued – live

That is a *GREAT* idea!

I know there is a bad reputation for that, but not everyone who goes to Thailand is looking for ugly & illegal practices. It sucks to hear that for all of us who have been there for the sheer joy of seeing an new place! It hurts the majority of the good Thai folks as well.

The Thai people and their LE are every bit as against abuse as any other nation. This is not the time or place to even begin to discuss these issues, IMO.

I do hope we get occasional updates on the boys medical status. Im sure there will be photos when they are discharged from hospital, although that might not be good for their mental health. I guess its better they just get back to living their normal lives without any celebrity 'stuff'.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!! Well done to all the thousands of rescuers, volunteers, army and navy personnel and the great British Cavers, Australian and all other elite divers, the support divers and the Thai army people who organized everything!! Its wonderful to see that the world CAN and DOES come together at times.

Amen.

I for one am not going to tune into "The Real Wild Boars and All Their Adolescent Adventures." If such a monstrosity happens, I just hope these young men can go on to have normal, happy lives, with no bloody nightmares and PTSD and media in their faces. Yuck.

**Forever remembered ~ Saman Kunan**



Ex-SEAL Diver Who Died in Cave Rescue Attempt Was an Avid Runner, Cyclist

A volunteer in the rescue effort and a highly trained diver, Kunan’s death shows the difficulty of this effort. Thai leaders vowed to continue on with the same force and gusto to honor their fallen comrade.

“We won’t let his life be in vain. We will carry on,” SEAL commander Admiral Apakorn Yuukongkaew told reporters on Friday, according to Channel NewsAsia. “We still have faith to carry out our work.”

I feel such despair for his wife tonight.

I feel such despair for his wife tonight.

I wonder if there is anything we can all do for her. Sure, prayer & love, but does she need anything else?

I'll likely be watching every single documentary that comes out about this. I won't go the the movie theater, but I'll watch everything else.

There is supposed to be a presser later or today or tomorrow by the doctors treating them about the boys conditions.

I’m optimistic as they’ve been deemed hearty enough for bread with chocolate spread

 

[dyannaON]

I wonder if the boys will start to milk it and ask for all these treats I hope they do. Work it boys. Flutter those eyelashes.

I'm sure this has already been mentioned as I've missed so many posts, but the pump team volunteered to stay behind and pump water out of the farm fields.
