Young Speulunkers lost in Cave

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

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.

^ CORRECT; THE SITUATION IS PERILOUS; ESPECIALLY AT A 15'' SPOT, DUBBED THE ''CHOKE POINT''; AND TAKING THE STRONGEST FIRST IE THE LEAST PROBLEMATIC ALSO GIVES THE RESCUE DIVERS MORE PRACTISE WITH THE REMAINING FIVE. NONE KNOW HOW TO SWIM, MUCHLESS S.C.U.B.A.; I CAN'T IMAGINE THE ANXIETY OF THE WAITING PARENTS AND THEIR THOUGHTS ON WHICH CHILD IS PICKED FIRST THOUGH.

I HAVE DONE WRECK DIVES INSIDE SHIPS AND NIGHT DIVES WITH RED LIGHT TO HUNT SPINY LOBSTER ALL BELOW 100 FEET(NOT RECOMMENDED DUE TO DECOMPRESSION ISSUES) AND WOULD NEVER EVEN CONSIDER CAVE DIVING SUCH AS IN FLORIDA. IT'S TOO DANGEROUS IMHO.

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.

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.

I wonder where the word "speulunkers" in the thread title is coming from. Sounds like a German origin, but in German, a "Spelunke" is a dubious bar, an obscucre speak-easy in the misty quarter of the harbour where dark men with grim faces talk silent about not just legal deals and if you say the wrong word you go amiss and get found in the water later on.
