Update : ‘It’s D-Day’: Cave rescue mission has begun

 

 

Divers have entered Tham Luang Cave to begin the hours-long operation of extracting at least some of the 12 young footballers and their coach trapped inside for more than two weeks, the mission chief said on Sunday.

 

Narongsak Osottanakorn said the assignments were issued at 10am and the rescue was to begin as soon as possible, with the first of the youths expected to emerge around 9pm.

 

“Today is D-Day,” he said. “The boys are ready to face any challenges.” 

 

Much of the route to the location where the boys and their coach were found last Monday has dried significantly, Narongsak said, though more rain is forecast.

 

When the search began, most of the accessways inside the cave were underwater.

 

It was unclear how many of the group will be extracted on Sunday. Earlier reports indicated that only those who were “100 per cent strong” would be brought out and reports today put the number at just four boys.

 

Narongsak said the boys and their coach would dive out one at a time, each accompanied by two members of a team of Thai and foreign divers.

 

News media and everyone else not directly involved in the operation were ordered to leave the area near the cave entrance to clear access for the evacuation operation.

Ask them for a Be1st card instead, you can use that worldwide.

It takes about a week to come in.

Can't use it in the UK

We used fly catching glue which is like a jar of green glue and a bunch of sticks you can buy at your supermarket. The flies should be attracted to the glue due to hormones or whatever.

 

Guess all the flies were ladyboys cause we caught none in over a week.

 

Next plan will be the old-fashioned squatter of 10 baht.

I take it you mean swatter

and then maybe the track

Looks like the points have been set the wrong way which would indeed cause a train to possibly derail. But surely the signalling person would notice this, and so too should the driver.

Never a dull moment is an understatement, quiet Issan village, with all the drugs about now its like the wild west.

Sad thing about last night, the poor man who was murdered was struck down with polio when he was a child, and like me his legs were useless, so unable to get away.

Where in Isaan is this then as I stay in Isaan also near Sues,  Roi Et

School teachers should be fired if they arrive at school without a helmet on, parents should be sent home if they arrive without their own or their child's helmet on, however instead we hear schools claim it is not their responsibility, that it is a matter for the police.  It is absolute insanity that a school can believe they have the right to deny entry to a child who has the wrong the wrong socks on but not to one riding a motorbike underage, without a licence and without even a helmet.

Yes I agree with you. Too many people in Thailand think it's someone else duty to sort things. I have never shit myself so much sitting in the passenger seat of a car, just watching what's happening on the roads in Isaan

No. You should wear a helmet because the law says so. If you choose to flaunt the rules you deserve what is coming and there is nothing the Buddha can do about it
