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.

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 |
