Excellent news!!

What goes in, must come out.

Four divers are still in the caves.

Ah, never heard of that.

What has a honkytonk (Spelunke) to do with cave-exploration (spelunker, speleologist), however...

A cave or a grotto is a "spilia", in greek language. So a 'Spelunke' may relate to a dark cave, grotto etc. [->blah.] [/Klugscheissermodus]

Yes, the doctor and the three divers that stayed with those trapped ever since they were discovered.

Hopefully there will be no sting in the tail and the delay is simply down to them tidying the area up before returning themselves.

EVERYONE'S OUT!

Quote:

“12 Wild Boars and coach out of the cave. Safe everyone. Hooyah!” the Thai navy SEALs wrote on Facebook after the team was rescued. “We are not sure if this is a miracle, a science, or what,” they added.

I would say it's a miracle but science, tenacity and other things were in play as well. This is great news.

Well done to everyone involved who refused to give up and condolences to the retired Thai navy SEAL who gave his life to help save the lives of 12 young soccer players and their coach from a flooded cave

The guy is being hailed as a hero not only in Thailand but in most other parts of the world I reckon and rightly so.

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

Glad they are all out safe.
