BTW, it was reported 12 minutes ago as I write this ,that 2 more boys have been rescued.That still leaves 6 kids and the coach.
|
More good news. Parents must be going through
Coach has risen to the occasion down there. Hope others see it that way.
And hope a lot more people learn from his stupidity in the first place.

I really didn't consider that. May be the case, I just can't imagine taking a bunch of kids that deep into the unknown. I assume this was their first trip there. If not I'd bet this one will be.

We can judge the coach for his actions leading up to their entrapment but keeping those boys calm and alive for 10 days before being found is pretty remarkable as well.

I read that he was weak because he gave the kids his ration of food. I also read that he was a former monk, but left the monastery. He taught the kids to meditate to conserve energy.

Absolutely superb news. All rescue divers and the doctor have also left the cave.
Well done to all the boys and their coach for surviving this horrible ordeal.
Huge praise for every single person, both rescuers and back up workers, involved in this, an extraordinary effort.
So sad that one brave Thai Navy Seal died during the rescue, thoughts are with him, his family and friends.

News now coming out about how the boys were rescued. It seems they were strapped onto stretchers and winched out on a system of ropes and pulleys. When they had to dive they were strapped to a diver and taken through the underwater sections. Absolutely amazing work.

Smart.
That way even if they panic they can't do much.

I read they were given ketamine to lower panic attacks while underwater.
