The next challenge will be getting the group out of the cave, which some have dubbed a "labyrinth".

Thanks to all the peoples that make this possible, I hope the way out will be not too hard for the guys!

Seems like the Brit who was first there (I know it was a team effort) will be the unsung hero by the name of

Let's hope he gets some credit where credit is very much due. Well done my Pommy mate.

Great news. I am happy for the boys and their families.

Chiang Rai governor just have official announcement and give all the credit to British divers and other rescue workers.

The word that came to mind when I saw those boys on the rescue video was resilient. I had read earlier in The Independent that after this long they my be too weak to lift their limbs. Bloody hell, they look like they are ready for a footie match!

Wonderful! But soon must come the investigation as to why, during an active rainy season with downpours forecasted, and without proper training, they were allowed or decided to go cave exploring. 

Yes, I have thought this right from the beginning. The 25 year old coach will have a lot of explaining to do for allowing the kids to go into the caves with warning signs in place about flooding at this time of year.

 

Wonderful news though that they are all safe. Let's now hope for a speedy exit so they can all be reunited with their families as soon as possible.

Most skilled Cavers in the World the British divers ! Military training is intensive in caverns caves deep underground and in mountains !

The best news....    great to hear they are all safe

 

That coach has earned the top "inactive post" in the country for his judgement to take the team in.

Business Class to World Cup final. Except whoever decided to go caving! 

Guys, it's not over yet. The tremendous task ahead to get them out. Hope not too much rain in near future.

Simply Fantastic............................?

Words just do not do the teams justice,,,,,,,,,

Yes indeed, well done to the British Cave experts, although we were lead to believe that the Thai Navy Seals won the day ? Never the less, I guess they were there ... I don't even know these boys, but I kept waking up every morning hoping and praying that they were safe, and there we go ... I must admit, I had my doubts.

Well done to all concerned .... now lets get them out without a hassle ....

Get them out in time for England's big win tonight and must say they look in remarkable shape considering their ordeal well done all.

Woke up this morning to my wife dancing around in delight. This is the best news I have heard for a long time. I truly believed it would end this way. I don't know why, but I felt 100% certain the boys were still alive and okay.

 

Here's the story (fable) my wife told me.

 

About 300 years ago there was a beautiful daughter of a king who wanted to marry a poor man. The king forbade her but she married him anyway. The king sent his soldiers to kill the husband, which they did. The daughter, in distress, killed herself and bestowed her body to the mountain and her blood the water. The powerful monk leader who came 3 days ago and said the boys are still alive and you'll find them in 3 days is the reincarnation of the princess' husband.

 

So there you have it.

Absolutely delighted with this result and personally don't care who found them as long as they were found alive and well. I hope they manage to get them out safely. That I expect will be quite difficult logistically.

Disgusted with the rosey specs brigade for trying to score cheap points from this story. People react to danger and tragedy in different ways and one of them is to expect the worst in case the news is the worst. I'm sure there isn't one person on the planet who isn't made up with this news.

Chaps, it was a team effort. Everyone deserves congratulations and praise, from the Englishman who popped out of the water and said " Hello, how many of you are there?" (  what wonderful English "sang froid" ) to the conscript squaddy carrying oxygen bottles up a slippery track in the pissing rain. Each one of them! Even the bloke blowing his whistle in the carpark!

?

Let's rescue 'em...but first a PICTURE! ?

 

Anyway, happy that the boys are safe.

FANTASTIC . So happy they are all ok . i had feeling that they would find them well done to all the teams and the effort they put in . What a relief for the parents . A good day . 

  AMAZING, just goes to show you must never give up hope. Since it was fellow britishers

in the video I feel a bit of Dylan Thomas coming on:

 

 

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

 

 

 

Awesome! So good to hear they are safe. 

Good old Brits come to the rescue please god they can now get them all out safe and well ?????

I will be meeting one of the divers tomorrow,  I look forward to shaking his hand,  and buying him a cold beer. Well done to everyone involved.

This is amazing! Just woke up as usual, and directly checked what was going. This is the best morning I´ve ever had, since many years back in time. This is great, and I am just so greatful that all 13 are found alive, and to all the brave and hard working people that have done this great and fantastic rescue.

There is one thing I do hope though. Here in this forum we have been having members posting rubbish and BS as unsual. Here are some examples without the names:

 

• One smelled a rat
• Another one was disgusted about the time it took and that was showing how bad the people and the country was.
• Other started to talk about that they couldn´t have survived this long.

After that it has been much more. All you people made this comments out of negative attitude, the need to moan and due to your own bad knowledge.

We can just hope that you also are very happy that you were wrong. Hopefully you can put a sock it next time, and show the rest of us that you really learned something.

This is a great day! Thanks again to all involved in the rescue and to everyone that kept positive to read about them fighting for another day, and another day until they finally found all 13 alive and as well as can be expected.

That's just rad coming from someone that's made 2 posts throughout the entire ordeal. 

1 to criticise another post and 1 now to criticise people that have been on these sites since day 1. Every morning and every night we were praying and hoping. 

You're like 9 days too late mate. You should have stayed on your safe fence.

If he plans to dive again soon into that cave, I hope he declines your beer.  Shame on those stopping to celebrate too soon.  The work isn't over yet, folks.

That's right. 

People prepare themselves for the worst. 

I personally thought they were fried on day 7. The brit said they would probably be fried if not found on day 8. It really wasn't looking good. 

Most decent people are just happy to see them alive . The bigger man doesn't need to say I told you so.

I am so glad.
