That's right. That is why I said "looks like someone reads the TV forum" and congratulated him on his idea, which was implemented eight hours later by the rescuers.

After a week in there, i think no hope of survival of this people..

No water, what you can drink, left makes it not easy..

Ok now they have a lots of foreign experts there. Please tell me that includes the site management.

Blocking the filters in the pumps which are trying to get rid of water!!!!!

 

Where are they pumping the water? Before it flows into the cave? Then they can drop the lights after the pumps, or put the lights in bigger floating boxes so they don't fit in the hoses. I don't see the problem. It's cowboys on a high horse like you who think they know it all, in this case some creative thinking is necessary....it's been more than 5 days now, time for panic and trying the unusual.

With modern technology & the expertise of real cave divers present I think your  method is rather archaic.. clutching at straws..

Let the experts evaluate what is really going to benefit the stranded team rather than just "throwing in" plastic bags in the hope something might reach them... 

I hope the joint efforts of overseas rescuers are splitting into separate teams & try to get to them from different points at the same time, as well as continuing to pump out as much water as possible so the divers have a better chance! 

If it was my child in the cave & all I saw was "plastic bags" being thrown in I'd be asking a few pertinent questions about what the hell was going on!!

Sounds like they need you in "central command" running the operation. The boys probably would have been home on Wednesday for dinner. Why have you not offered your indispensable "team leader" services, boots on the ground instead of fingers on keyboard?

I would guess they have plenty of drinking water, provided they can reach it without endangering themselves.

The flood water in the cave is rain water that has filtered through all the rock and sand, it may be a bit dirty (so not exactly Evian or Perrier) but surely potable.

Not have a good nights sleep for a week now....Oh please let their be a Happy Ending
