If they can hear roosters crowing and dogs barking then there has to a way to dig through the top, I would give priority to locating their position from above.

Now add to the dilemna, oxygen levels in the chamber have dropped to 15%, the usual level being 21% plus the fact heavy monsoon rains are expected on Sunday, threatening further flooding and the scenario is changing at an alarming pace. A decision on what to do next is imminent I suspect.

It looks like the rescue effort has begun.
Hopefully all goes well. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/07...cials-say.html Magic

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

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.

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.
