And local channels seem much more up to date than either (3, 34)

 

I think in  the absence of official statements reporters are having to scramble and locals obviously have the edge.

Who? Is that the name of the rescuers? 

Really?  "Better to keep your thoughts to yourself and let people think you are an idiot than open you mouth and remove all doubt".  The prayers of all are being answered before our eyes.

No argument from me. 

[Sheryl]

The Thai Navy Seal FB page is also issuing reports but slower than some local media. They announced the 3rd out 10 minutes ago, the 4th out 2 minutes ago.

 

But as above, reliable reports the most current number is 6. (This might include some still in Chamber 3)

all cheer and make them heros ......????

the rescuers

shure

[faraday]

I pray every night, have done since I was 7.

 

Since this began, I also prayed for the boys & coach to come out well, & to live a long life.

 

Some of you on here, scoff at prayer:

 

Prayer does work, as long as you set your intention.

 

Bless you, all of you, who have helped, in whatever way.

Awesome results so far. The whole world is watching this story with baited breath. Well done rescue teams.

@vaitor (journalist on site)

Australian doctor inside the cave decided to bring out the weakest kids first as cave conditions have been the best in days.

If true that is really encouraging in terms of outlook for getting all of them out

Thank you very much!

This is fabulous news - and the release of the boys seems to have been accomplished AMAZINGLY swiftly. I think many of us were expecting the first boys to come out early tomorrow morning. 

This is such joyous news - I think everyone is so happy now - and of course we all hope (and pray) for the remaining boys. But the signs seem very, VERY positive.

What a wonderful evening!

I would have expected more celebrating at the site than has been evident.

Also, given they are not broadcasting from the cave area anymore, it seems that there are no more recues underway tonight.

Has there been any report on their health?

Bickering and negative posts have been removed and will continue to be.

 

This is not the time nor the thread for such.

[jerry921]

I don't understand twitter very well. But I think the Thaivisa twitter feed retweeted Florian Witulski who said "the Australian doctor inside the cave decided to bring out the weakest kids first as cave conditions have been the best in days. "

 

and

 

Saksith Saiyasombut   who wrote "4 of 13 our of the cave, some at field hospital, one labeled “as code red”

 

Bringing out the weakest first was apparently a late change of plan from what had been planned and announced. Hopefully the one that was code red was the one that was treated right at the cave mouth (#3) and it's nothing more than extreme exhaustion.

 

edit: I'm slow, Sheryl already reported the bit about weakest-first.

Fox is giving a lot of time to this. Shows how much interest is from around the world.

 

Also on Al Jazeera, which just said 6 boys rescued and only 1 taken to hospital.

Only that the first 2, at least, walked out.

 

A number of sources have said that due to improved cave conditions they switched plan to taking out the weakest first (as conditions may be harder for those who come later)

 

If the weakest are walking, even after the trip through the cave, sounds very hopeful.But of course they still have to be checked out thoroughly. there are some infectious diseases specifically a risk from this sort of cave exposure.

Although 6 lads have now been rescued by the brave divers and their teams, there are still 7 lads in the cave.

These 7 young children are not as strong as the ones that have already made it out.

I really hope they will be strong enough to make this dangerous journey out, so although I am celebrating the same as the rest of you, but I am holding back on a cold beer until they are all out safely, along with the dive teams
