Yup, expected to walk out shortly.
Thai Cave kids | All 12 boys and coach rescued from cave | visiting United
- Thread starter Ekkie Thump
- Start date
6 boys out
6 out of the cave now, per local news that broke the news of the first group.
My reasoning was that with this being a very risky operation they would want to start with the fittest so they could gather experience for a smoother and faster extraction with the weaker ones. Assuming no immediate life threats of course.
So happy to see them coming out.
6 out? This seems to go incredibly well, amazing.
Reuters confirms 6 out. Feck yeah!
Wow this is amazing so far. Hopefully they all come out alive. The rescuers should have the freedom of Thailand and everyone involved invited to the world cup final
Six boys have now exited the cave - reports
A senior member of the rescue medical team has reportedly told Reuters that six boys have now exited the Tham Luang cave complex.
Amazing!

Just brilliant really. Nearly half way there.

So, assuming the water levels don’t rise, it should get easier from here?
I think the Australian doctor was the one hand-picked by the British pair of divers. They seem to have been the ones coordinating this. Knighthood on the way, heroes the lot of them. Including the kids and teacher.
Probably depends on whether or not there are stamina concerns for the pro-divers.
Think the teacher might be facing a stint in another dark damp place unfortunately. He failed in his duty care.
Still, ii hope he too rebilds his life afterwards. He meant no harm
True.
The stories so far say it was a flash flood that meant they had to go deeper into the cave to avoid the rising water.
To keep them alive and calm for nine days before the rescuers found them puts him as a hero in my eyes
Bit harsh.
I sincerely hope not. If it's true that the sign on the entrance said not to go from July-October, and they entered the cave in June, he shouldn't be held accountable. It's easy to speak of it after the fact, but he can't be blamed for ignorance of dangers, that could have happened to any one. Either:
1) The flooding in late June was a freak occurrence, blame nature and don't look for human scapegoats.
2) The flooding wasn't a freak occurrence and blame should lie with the authorities who are supposed to take care of safety in these places.
The man has suffered enough in there, and guilt will never leave him. At least one person has died already trying to rescue them.
Presumably that means 4 more out?
The parents wrote a joint letter saying none of them blame the coach and want him to get out safe too.
And mine.
Medics have said the coach (only 25 years old himself lets remember) was in by far the worst condition when they arrived, having refused to eat any of the small amount of food they had with them so the kids had more. He's a hero in my eyes as well.
(unverified image from the thai nave seals comments section), looks like they're putting them in body bags and just dragging them out one by one. Maybe a hoax as you often get during these live news events, but it was one of the ideas previously floated.
If that's a real image then visability looks pretty decent, at least in parts.
Makes sense. This way they don't interfere with their own rescue due to fear or inexperience.

Definitely keeping them alive is pretty incredible. Give it another few weeks and something much worse would have been thought about

Don't mean to be harsh, just have read that the Thai authorities are considering it anouls he come out alive.
Maybe the sign does say stay out between July - October. Should he have taken them in there 1 adult to 13 kids? Was he experienced enough to know what to do in an emergency? Did they have the proper equipment? Lots of questions. To answer.
Got nothing against the dude but people go to prison for much less
Fair play to him.
Arent some passages just way too narrow and difficult to manouevre for this to be possible?

What an incredible rescue operation. I feel so useless when I read about those divers.
Reports saying rescue is stopping for today and will resume tomorrow.
CNN are reporting that the operation is done for the night.
If this is indeed the case, they must be very confident of both the weather tomorrow, and the health and well-being of the remaining boys
I don't want to sour the mood, but apparently Trump has tweeted about the subject.
Divers need to rest too. Now there's half the people consuming oxygen in the cave, arguably the stronger are the ones remaining, so all reasons to be hopefull.
Bit strange as there is no night/day in the cave, and youd think they'd have plenty of divers to take over...
Or maybe not
Or maybe not
Yeah, hopefully with 6 out he'll be able to have something to eat tonight, however little.
Yes it's been a stunning effort so far, I'm very confident that it will all be done same time tomorrow.
Just hoping that the kid in critical condition recovers swiftly.
