Young Speulunkers lost in Cave

Yesterday a Danish volunteer said to Danish TV.

"The kids have said they heard sounds of other children playing outside and other sounds.

This could mean there may be an another entrance, we have to find it"

Twelve Thai boys trapped in a cave have exchanged emotional letters with their parents, for the first time since their ordeal began two weeks ago.

"Don't worry, we are all strong," one child said in a note. "Teacher, don't give us lots of homework!" he joked.

The football coach who took the boys into the cave apologised to parents, but they wrote he was not to blame.

Hopefully all goes well.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS: THERE ARE TWO DIVERS PER CHILD INSTEAD OF THREE; SO FEWER MOVING PARTS AND BETTER EFFICIENCY....

Wearing full-face masks, which are easier for novice divers than traditional respirators, each boy will be accompanied by two divers who will also carry their air supply.

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

Bring em home

It has just been reported that at least two of the boys have been successfully rescued

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.

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