I should imagine the adult will be the last to leave if the decision is his to make.

Quote:

The first voice 12 young Thai footballers and their coach heard after nine days trapped in caves was that of Briton John Volanthen. "How many of you?" he asked. "Thirteen? Brilliant." It meant that, finally, they had been found. Mr Volanthen and Richard Stanton MBE (FOR PREVIOUS CAVE RESCUES) were in the cave after being called in by Thai authorities along with another British caving expert, Robert Harper.https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cp...473b70f36d.jpg

MR STANTON MBE IS PROVING 'WORTHY OF HIS SPURS' PERHAPS HE'LL BE ELEVATED TO A HIGHER RANK OF THE ORDER....:shucks:

Great news! :Kaleun_Cheers:

Four brought out safe and well but operation temporarily halted and will recommence early Monday morning.

However, the rain that had Thai authorities so worried appears to have arrived.

I try to follow it on our news channel.

Secondly

This suspenseful drama will soon come to a cinema near you.

This is a bold move by the rescuers. Given the window they have, I can't exactly blame them. Even if they only get out a few before the rains return, that's a few more saved. It will lessen the resources being consumed by the remainder until the water's recede or other methods are tried.



Having spent a number of years in SAR and Emergency Services, I know that community will be watching this operation closely. So far, from the lay reports I've been reading, the rescue operation is being well run. The amount of expertise they immediately brought in is stupendous in it's scope. At the very least, the availabilty of divers qualified to make these dives is pretty rare. The SAR community will be taking a good look at this operation, hopefully to use as an example on how to run an good operation.

I wonder if they're bringing out the sturdiest and least afraid boys first? That would be the way to go I think. Once they've made it the other boys might become more confident, and if not then at least the oxygen needed in the cave has been reduced. They should probably take an inflatable raft in with them so there will be someplace to go if the beach disappears due to rising water. Coach goes last of course, not as punishment but to keep the boys buoyed up figuratively and literally maybe. I wonder if they told the boys about the SEAL? I don't think they need to know that until they're out, but maybe going or staying should be their call?

They went the opposite route, they brought out the weakest ones first. Which makes sense, as they are under a time crunch, and the rest may be stuck there for a while.

Unconfirmed reports are saying four more have been rescued.

Now I'm confused

What is correct in this story ?

On our News channel and i our online news media, they have said they toke the strongest first.

Here is bit from a Danish news paper.

From the article (translated)
according to the head of the rescue operation, they have chosen to take the strongest out first

Markus

The UK press (tv included) are stating that all those trapped were initially examined by a doctor for the purpose of choosing the most at risk who would be priorotised for first to be rescued.

I wonder how/why they first went past that choke point. That would be the place where I would have said "That's far enough, lets turn around".

I believe it was because of the rising water that they went as far as they did.

I wonder that too. Maybe they came in by another route that is now much more flooded than the one they are using to rescue them?

I think it was said somewhere that it was a you're on the "team" now type of initiation thing, and there was hardly any water in the cave when they went in. Can't be looked at thru a pussified western point of view, our fake media would be calling for the coach to be locked up, and lawyers would be lined up outside the cave waiting. :03:

I also think Pattaya Beach was their original destination, and they pushed further because of the rising water. I also think I read that there is a certain place where the team all write their names on the cave wall.

As of ten minutes ago it is being reported that a tenth person has been recued.
