Brilliant. Was reported in Norwegian news that the two more will be brought out today and the remaining five tomorrow. Not sure whether that is confirmed in any way.
Great stuff.
CNN are now saying that the rescue operation is over for today, and that they managed to get 4 more kids out of the cave today. The Guardian (who seem to have their own source at the rescue scene) aren't confirming the numbers yet.
Great stuff if true. It seems like they've gotten used to the operation and there should be no complication provided the weather holds.
Huge respect for the divers/doctor.

Norwegian paper saying only two remain inside.
That's unlikely but hoping it's true!
Still have no idea how they've managed this without any casualties so far. Also huge credit to the kids at holding their nerve diving in darkness and those narrow spaces for hours.
Yeah, incredible stuff. The guys carrying out the rescue operation are absolute heroes
I think they're knocking them out and dragging them through. The doctor who's diving with them is an anaesthesiologist.
Not likely.
Not quite 'knocking them out', but it's pretty heavily suggested they're sedating them to keep them calm and then basically dragging them through which has the twin benefits of A) not having to worry about them panicking and chewing through their air supply and B) not having to train them to dive properly.
5 isnt it? 4 yesterday, 4 today, 13 total (if that number included the coach). Hopefully they dont risk themselves too much getting the last person out tomorrow if they are doing the next operation then, with them being used to 4 per day.
Cant imagine the wait for the last guy left, having at least had your team around you up until that point. Hope it ends as smoothly as these 2 days have been.
I thought the same but the biggest paper (www.vg.no) is saying 11 out 2 to go. They are quoting a local official. No one else is reporting it though so I assume it might be wrong.
I'd assume they'd leave at least one diver there with the last person.
Horrific in most contexts.
4-4-4-rest by the looks of it. It will be over on Wed. Great stuff today
Sedation makes absolute sense, I’m not sure why it’s being dismissed.
We’re talking about kids here, there is no benefit to them being sharp and alert, they won’t react to frightning situations well whatever happens. Having them in a trance like state as they are guided through the sections like rag dolls makes a lot of sense. The last thing you want is them panicking, struggling and messing with either their own or the rescuers equipment.
The teacher is going to be an interesting one, I assume he’s that big larger and will need to do a lot more himself.

Besides, how often do you get to punch a kid right on the jaw and still be a hero.
Yeah being sedated does make sense. I can't believe 12 kids would be calm enough to be underwater that long and in total darkness and in tiny space and not just completely panic.
I think people are distinguishing between "knocked out" which requires operating room kind of techniques to support them and "a bit dozy" - which might just make them easier to handle. Obviously though that's a juggling act. This is a long trip out (even though they've got the speed up now) and there's no easy way to maintain "just enough" right the way through the trip. I'm sure it's part of why they've got the medical support they've got though.
If it were me, I think I'd gladly be knocked out/sedated than be conscious while going through 70cm wide portions of the cave.
That would be amazing. Would love if they were there to see England get beaten .
That was part of initial reports yesterday but the Thai governor and head of rescue said the healthiest were taken out instead.

I'd rather they made it to this World Cup. All of this will be forgotten in 4yr time. /Englishman
This story is heartwarming to say the least. The international support is great to see.
Us humans do have a good side to us at times.

Excellent news. Keep up the good work.
Edit: Would be great if Utd would invite these guys down to watch a game?
Did we do something similar for the Chilean miners?

No, we didnt. And i dont think we would.
This is what I suggested they do originally, so I'm glad that they have followed my advice and the people are coming out safely, one by one.
I look forward to your knighting ceremony, hero.
Good job, Elon.
Yes, we did.
