Could be but kids are incredibly resilient. And the prospect of attending the biggest soccer match in 4 years might be just the impetus they need to recover. I can imagine them gulping down their medicines, eating hungrily to build strength, and pushing each other, all in order to make that flight to Moscow on Saturday.
They may well do.

The gesture was made a few days ago. It's good of them to reach out like that, but I doubt that after being trapped in a cave for so long they would be in a hurry to get in to another confined space (plane) that they can't just walk out of once inside. Bangkok to Moscow 9 hours, I doubt it.

Not bad at all considering you had pretty much written them off for dead by June 30th.

6 minutes ago, tropo said:I doubt that. They're on a roll and they're on an adrenaline high. I don't think any of these divers want to sleep or could sleep until they're all out. There are a lot of drivers who are taking turns.
In the words of John Volanthem himself.
Quote“The flight response now isn’t always appropriate,” he said. “Panic and adrenaline are great in certain situations, but not in cave-diving. The last thing you want is any adrenaline whatsoever.”

Well, they probably know more than you do.
They were showing an infographic taken from a Chinese news website with the water flowing the wrong direction the other day, so I wouldn't rely on them too much if I were you.

Nothing is going as planned
And you know this how exactly? Has this not gone exactly as planned by the divers? Please tell us more details.

The Royal Thai Army owns and operates channel 5, thus the connection and information.
So anything and everything that is or has been reported about this operation by channel 5 should be taken as fact? Is that what you are saying?

Just now, tropo said:Did they plan to stop tonight? Surely they'll keep it going until they're all out.
Perhaps that's physically impossible. Perhaps the divers need to rest, I'm pretty sure the slightest laps in concentration could end in a fatality.

Good graphic on Thai CH 5 about how they did this.
Diver in front, with tow rope to child in the middle, who is connected to diver behind, like 3 train carriages. All the child has to do is breathe, and let the divers fore and aft do the rest.
Still, easier said than done.
And how does CH 5 know how it was done? Are they just guessing how it may have been done?

Great, another thread to bounce between. Could this not just have been posted in this thread?

There has been some confusion in the numbers provided by different sources.
Not sure about the other participant numbers but for the evacuation the Bitish representation is 10 in total. Consisting of 7 cave divers and 3 support personnel, all sent to Thailand via the the British Cave Rescue Council at the direct request of the Thai government.
Quotethe total UK team will consist of seven experienced cave divers and three non-divers in support to deal with communications into the cave and to provide general support.

"The Tham Luang Nang Non caves are known locally as off-limits, a dangerous place where parents warn their children not to go into, especially during monsoon season." https://edition.cnn.com/2018/07/05/asia/thailand-cave-town-intl/index.html
CNN once mistook the Star Spangled Banner for the French national anthem. I wouldn't take any one single report too literally.

She only came to Thailand to audition to play the part of the cave in the planned movie in Chiang Rai.
