Leave the Thais to handle this! We now have "expert" teams from all over the world that are obviously just getting in the way

Any 2 people holding a shovel are now considered experts and enjoying their daily retainer.

GET THEM OUT they did absolutely nothing!!

Holy M F.  What an attitude. You show real team spirit (not). Your leadership approach reminds me very much of that buffoon who is temporarily trying to run America in an isolationist manner and is thoroughly making a mess of the world.

To all the countries who have contributed expertise and technical equipment/knowhow to this rescue, I salute the TEAM WORLD effort. Go team go.

Need a proper breakthrough on this tomorrow or sooner. If these lads have survived until now they need rescuing asap. 

 

@Chickenlegs your updates are great.

Don't read much do you. The Aussie divers swam today and made more progress than any other period and have made it to the chamber with Pattaya Beach. Should be news shortly. You just regurgitate the same shit over and over. You know absolutely nothing of whats going on except repeating the same rubbish until you actually believe it.

Get them out! They have done nothing but create chaos!!!

Why so nasty? Your messages are somewhat incoherent which leads me to believe you might have overlooked your meds.

I have read every word relevant to this rescue and draw my own opinions. Thanks much.

You must be as dumb as the guy who said this was a 50 man Job.

 

It's a monster, it's like 10km long it's got all kinds of trails. They have had to drill into rock without causing damage to structures and pump out water. It is not a toilet it's a cave filled with water. The ambulances on scene are not specifically for the children but anyone who needs them as the rescue operation may yield casualties of their own. A week ago they were talking about having to wait a week for the water to clear. Clearly someone high up kicked off and put every available piece of man power into action and then sought  international help. I hope these guys are foundoing safe and sound. Be a great film too.

You must be one desperate self esteem lacking individual to see the sad predicament of these children  as an opportunity to garner attention for yourself on an internet forum, and negative attention at that.

 

Hang your head in shame man.

What a bunch of negative, ignorant losers in here.  Some of you guys needs to Grab your tampon box.  I think everything is going to turn out ok. I plan to be there to celebrate.  It's obvious most of you are not divers. Cave diving is a separate skill.   Basically your blind, going against current and margins of safety are greatly reduced. It's not like your looking at some gps map on your HUD Google's.  There is no emergency slow accent available.  You have to figure you can only use 1/3 of your air going in.  Luckily they found some staging area so divers can stock extra tanks deeper in and another team can advance from there.  Just imagine the logistics on how to provide sleeping and food and air in these forward chambers?  There is no bargirl to service anyone. Just think about that.  It's not easy.  This cave system is quite lengthy.  I'm thinking some of you bar stool brothers can't walk that far on a good day. As for the team. 

A team like this with a coach can make it. They won't starve by now and I doubt if they separated. My concern is exposure..  I'm assuming these were pretty lean kids. Let's hope they found a good air pocket and relatively dry place to hunker down. 

Let's just focus on finding them and giving them food and warmth.  Getting them out may have to wait for the water level to drop.  

Now let's talk about how big of a celebration were going to make it!!!

Modern drilling can easily hit a bathroom at 1000 m. But there is dangers in opening addition water inlet.

Yeah maybe, but in truth based on what we actually KNOW about where they are and what happened to them (close to nothing) your POV sounds rather DELUSIONAL.

Seems the most recent news is upbeat and the teamwork is coming together. Don't understand the barstool crowd putting on a negative spin while at the same time those heroically pushing forward express no doubts they will find the Wild Boars alive. I think I will put my faith in those risking all to find these kids rather than a few miserable individuals forecasting death with little or no basis for their opinion. If the kids made it to high ground in the early hours I believe they have several things in their favor. Exposure should not be that much risk as it is relatively warm and as a group they can huddle to conserve heat.  They have water that is flowing, may make them sick but survivable. Lack of food should not be an issue for at least a month possibly two. They are young and strong and have their coach they respect as a leader to hopefully keep them focused. In addition they have the support of hundreds doing the very best they can to bring them home as soon as possible. No rescue mission runs perfect but there seems to be no quit in this group which is more than I can say for a group on TV.

 

Most recent report I could find. Don't find a lot of negativity there and I don't see any upside for the Governor to be blowing smoke. Have at it doomsday squad, spin it. 

The teams that swam Sunday included the SEALs, Australian divers and rescuers from the Thai city of Ayutthaya.

The effort had rebounded from earlier Sunday, when it appeared divers were making little progress.

"Today we made good progress, and it was a positive improvement, very positive," Chiang Rai Gov. Narongsak Osatanakorn told reporters.

It is now a race against time after 7 days. I am getting bit worried about their health and safety. Praying hard for the kids and hope they pull through and be saved soon.

One other thought and request for those of you fixated on the certain demise of these young men. There are 13 families and loved ones going through what most assuredly will be the most painful and awful times of their lives which likely will never go away should their kids not come home.  And as one who has lost a child I can tell you that reading some of the hateful rubbish spewed in some of these negative posts, if read by these parents, would be over the top inhuman and extremely painful. It is a perfect time if you have nothing positive or encouraging to say please say nothing at all. Have some respect if that is possible. There is only one who knows what the outcome will be and he is above all our pay scales. Lets pray the he brings these innocent kids home. IMHO I think he will but I am going to keep praying and keep positive.

"...which is more than I can say for a group few on TV."

 

Most are holding out hope that the kids will be rescued. The onlookers can be excused feeling that time is running out, but the rescuers do not and must not let their hopes be diminished.

 

Maybe a "farang" basher or two need to be wacked around their collective heads i.e. 'the great white hopes have nil results to show" (or words to that effect).

PLEASE keep religion out of it. :sad: Personally I get sick and tired of the excuses/reasons offered when something doesn't work out!

 

Just look forward with hope the kids are rescued and if not, that they will be recovered and returned to their families.

Oh please get a tissue and have a good cry... There you go better now?

Well that didn't work out to well!. All of this begging to get every international team out there because big bwana will fix it is now OFFICIALLY completely BS!

You and a few others should stop your pathetic bickering.

The only thing that matters is getting them poor boys out alive.

Why are s many posters are only interested in point scoring is beyond me.

Sorry but I cant do that. I have just as much right to my faith as you have to your lack thereof. You will just have to get over it or not read my post. 

So from what i've read the only news is that the Assie team reached the Pattaya Beach cave 

Anything to add if known

I would imagine if indeed the kids sought shelter there news is forthcoming because the issue getting through the currents is diminished if I understand correctly.

Why - stupid, miserable pathetic individuals, nothing better to do, always have to be right, and that's just a few points of why.

I have no use for religion.  However, there are such things as faith, hope and sympathy that serve a human purpose, no matter the outcome.  Be gentle.

Facts!

Useless 1st world teams have produced zero results!
Wake up!

 

So produce the facts that prove that they are useless.

 

If you are so smart and clever why don't you go up there and put your money where your mouth is and do something about it.

And you come in on the attack.. Oh the irony!
It's not bickering. People have strong feelings about how this is going. It's a forum. Deal with it. The common denominator is WE ALL want them out yesterday.

Why your total pre-occupation with these comments?

 

ALL the rescuers make some contribution! Their help, whether offered or asked for is a PLUS.

 

STOP with the "1st world teams" bashing. :post-4641-1156693976: You've already got your foot in your mouth - are you trying for two feet?
