He is to be given a funeral with full military honours and the King of Thailand is going to meet the cost

How fitting. Indeed, The Seal should be honored as well as the others who also risked their lives and fortunately, survived. They are all hero's.

I remember Quecreek mining Disaster where 9 miners were trapped underground for 77 hours while frantic efforts were made to pump the water out and raise the miners to the surface. Many prayers were answered that day too.

Issues during drilling operation

A "super drill", capable of drilling a 30-inch (760 mm) hole, had been sent with police escort up from West Virginia. Once oxygen purging began, drillers had begun the 30-inch Rescue Hole No. 1 at 6:45 p.m., Thursday, July 25, to intersect 1-Left section. It was located approximately 20 feet (6.1 m) away from the 6.5-inch (170 mm) ventilation hole, and was drilled to a 105-foot (32 m) depth by 1:12 a.m., Friday, July 26, when the drill bit broke.

Finally, they were all rescued. Such a miracle!

I heard they gave each of the boys extra blankets when they got them out of the cave because, you know, you got to Pad Thai real well.

More details are beginning to emerge now that the operation has been concluded successfully and one detail is the fact each boy was heavily sedated and strapped to a kind of stretcher which answers my curiosity as to why none of them panicked whilst being brought out of the cave system.
