I don't think food shortage is a problem any more, there have been so many travels back and forth. That was referring to the period before they were found.Yeah, hopefully with 6 out he'll be able to have something to eat tonight, however little.

I think it was more the food they had during the original 9 days before they were found. I'd imagine he has been eating the food they've been sending in sinceYeah, hopefully with 6 out he'll be able to have something to eat tonight, however little.
There's 18 divers in total, and 3 per passenger. So 6 kids out sounds about right, given that it was said that the round trip trip per driver is 11 hours. The time and effort would be even more when ferrying a completely inexperienced diver.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

Ah fair enough.Bloody hell! That picture!
Everyone involved in this rescue is a bona fide

They'll be using the best elite divers for this operation and you only have a limited number of divers who are the best in this field.Bit strange as there is no night/day in the cave, and youd think they'd have plenty of divers to take over...

Yes, there were more on the spot but apparently only the best of the best are being used. I'm thinking the death of the rescuer the other day may have something to do with it.They'll be using the best elite divers for this operation and you only have a limited number of divers who are the best in the business.

Definite "yeah nah" from me as well.Tweet

Yeah nah.
I'm guessing not. The toughest sections are being done by teams using some of the most experienced cave rescue divers in the world, the doctor is a cave-diving specialist as well as a medical one. From the sounds of it, they're working in pairs and they need the whole crew to operate like a formation dance team. They've been through the briefings/rehearsals together - they all know the cave.Bit strange as there is no night/day in the cave, and youd think they'd have plenty of divers to take over...
That would be extraordinary good news if it's accurate. That would mean that all the most specialised work in the wholly submerged sections has been done.Tweet

Not sure if true, but this would be amazing!
The press conference is underway.
A round of applause erupted after Chiang Rai governor Narongsak Osottanakorn said he had met the children.
He said their health is “perfect” and called today the “best situation”.
The first boy arrived out of the cave at 5.08pm local time.
50 foreign divers and 40 Thai divers are currently involved in the rescue operation.
Yup, seems like it.nah that's gotta be wrong, officials have confirmed the rescue op paused and will continue tomorrow
Yes, it's confirmed to be 4. The first 2 came out within 10 minutes of each other. The 3rd came out about 2 hours later and the 4th after another 10 minutes. Seems like a well rehearsed and time kept operationWait, is it 6 or 4?
4 makes sense because that would imply they are following the 4, 3, 3, 3 split they planned on.

The press conference said 4 had arrived at hospital. There may be 2 or 3 others (depending on which unconfirmed report you look at) in the cave, at the rescue base, but not yet ready to move out. But that was only ever an unconfirmed report.Wait, is it 6 or 4?

I'm a novice. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly killed him? When one gets stuck, are you just left there on your own?My dad was a potholer, one of his mates got stuck and died. This put me right off. Been cavern diving (never away from direct sunlight), that was nervy on its own.
Depends on how narrow it is is it not? if it's relatively easy to manoeuvre then the divers can drag the kids along without much risk of them panicking.I'm reading that even with the reduced water levels, the underwater part of the journey was 1km
Here's an example of one such situation. Of course cause of dead may vary, but you can see that even if you're not on your own you may be in an impossible to save situation.I'm a novice. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly killed him? When one gets stuck, are you just left there on your own?
Keep the pumps running. Keep looking for alternate ways in. Keep looking did alternate solutions. And prayWait so are they going do do just one group a day? What happens if conditions worsen? Feck am back to being nervous now.
This is back in the sixties. I can't recollect the exact details. My dad wasn't with him at the time. I think he got stuck in a climbing section and could neither go forward or back and by the time they returned to him with rescue gear he'd died from a lack of oxygen.I'm a novice. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly killed him? When one gets stuck, are you just left there on your own?
Yeah, no thank youHere's an example of one such situation. Of course cause of dead may vary, but you can see that even if you're not on your own you may be in an impossible to save situation.
Makes sense as a limiting factor. Got to reset all the oxygen supplies on route.The rescue has been concluded for the night and will resume in 10-20 hours because “we’ve used all the oxygen,” according to Narongsak, who said the healthiest were taken out first.
For the next operation to happen, we cannot say. It will be between 10 and 20 hours, but not over 20. But we have to evaluate all the factors.
Air tanks must be put back into place,” he added, noting that today’s progress was a “great success”.
He said that 13 foreign and five Thai divers were taking part in the rescue and that two divers would accompany each boy as they’re gradually extracted.
According to the BBC, the rescue mission is slated to resume at 8am local time. It is currently 9:16pm.
Dan Johnston told the BBC News Channel that “its actually just falling quiet here” and “there’s been a lot of activity in the past few minutes” with people now appearing to be leaving the site for the evening.
One thing to bear in mind is the tiredness levels of the cave diving exerts who are leading this operation. They have been working busily all day and it looks like some of them are actually leaving the dive site now.
It looks like they’ve taken the decision that they have done as much as they can for today.
The operation is set to resume at 8am local time with officials and volunteers buoyed by the fact that their method of rescuing the boys by diving has been successful insofar.
The remaining eight boys and their coach remain at the original underground location near to Pattaya beach, suggesting that previous reports that six boys had been freed were inaccurate

Thanks. Feck that as a sport. What a horrible way to go.This is back in the sixties. I can't recollect the exact details. My dad wasn't with him at the time. I think he got stuck in a climbing section and could neither go forward or back and by the time they returned to him with rescue gear he'd died from a lack of oxygen.
It 100% won't matter. Tides are actually caused by *pressure* from huge bodies of water being affected by the sun and moon. I.e a glass of water won't be affected in the same wayDoes the tide matter at all when it comes to caves? Was wondering about that. Or is it too secluded for the water to be influenced by this?
Yeah, Reuter's was reporting it as six. Unfortunately not. Still a damn good start though.wasnt it 6 rescued earlier
Man I had hoped they were moving the groups one after the other in one go. But, they have called this perfectly so we should just trust their judgement and hope the conditions remain favourable.Keep the pumps running. Keep looking for alternate ways in. Keep looking did alternate solutions. And pray
Myths busted:wasnt it 6 rescued earlier
That guy got entombed there ffs, couldn't even recover his body! Survived for 27 hours. Think I wouldn't survive 27 minutes.Here's an example of one such situation. Of course cause of dead may vary, but you can see that even if you're not on your own you may be in an impossible to save situation.
