Thai soccer players and coach found alive

the weakest ones out first
It's great that they are getting them out.
Equally amazing that they found them in the first place.
Those two British cave divers that found them are pretty astounding as are all the others involved in this rescue.
Saddest part is that a Thai man died trying to get them out. He should never be forgotten in all of this.
Hopefully the rescue is concluded with all of them getting out today.

I'd hazard a guess (based on rumours circling the media) that they didn't deliberately go 4km in. I suspect they were in there when water started flowing in, blocking them from going back the way they came in. Therefore they went deeper into the cave to a) look for an alternative exit and b) a desperate attempt to escape waters flowing into the cave.Harry said:

What I don't understand is why go in there now? Just coming into the wet season? They've had the dry season to do it but chose now. Seems strange to me.
I'm really happy they are all safe, but another man has lost his life and his family deserve to understand why.
Why do people deliberately drive like hoons? Why do people drive drunk? Why do people take drugs? Why do people binge drink until paralytic? Why do people go boating in small water craft, in rough weather, with no life jackets? Why do people go bush walking unprepared for adverse weather changes?mrposhman said:
Just a few examples of the types of behaviour, leading to tragedy, that we see on the news every day.

Will Be a sadder day when we lose our spirit of adventure.
We rescue capsized sailors, swimmers who go out of their depth, stranded rock climbers, search for missing people in the outback all could well have been reckless at some point leading to their predicament.
All I can say the Thais appear to be a more forgiving people. We'd have had lawyers scrumming around the mouth of the cave.

I hope Hollywood don't get their paws on it. They'll include a non existent love story, a team of heroic only American rescuers, and probably base it in the US.
Well done to all those involved.
Wonderful wonderful news.
The weather held out too so they had to go in these past three days and get them all out.
The Aus expert/diver is getting aloot of accolades !
Sadness though that a diver lost his life at the start. Hope his family are taken care of.

It wouldn’t be a heroic team of American only rescuers. It would be one man: The Rock. And the rescuees would be the Miss USA finalists. And the cave would somehow be littered with explosives that are about to be set off by terrorists from an unnamed country (similar to North Korea).Legends of 2017 said:
Hey, I’d pay to see that!
Shows that maybe here is still hope for mankind. Just when you think the world is full of self-centered egotists people from all over the world turn up voluntarily to offer their expertise to help some people that they have never met in a place most of them have probably never even heard of.
Well done to all concerned who helped except for one rich famous person who is now sooking his invention wasn't used despite the fact that all were rescued safely without it.
