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 song as you set your intention.

 

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

 

 

For sure prayer helped 5 mates of mine who died in Northern Ireland but that's off topic so go back somewhere quiet and pray all you want.

Leave the real thoughts for the divers who are doing a real job in a situation you or me can't even imagine.

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.

Oh that's really bad news. 

Would be such a wonderful miracle to have them all survive. 

[thaibeachlovers]

I will be very happy if I was wrong about the panic factor. If the weakest are out now, it seems good for the rest, but the weather looks bad, so there might even be a move tonight for the rest if it starts raining again.

[faraday]

What sorts of diseases might they have been exposed to Sheryl?

Would be nice to hear the tactics they are using, are they moving them chamber by chamber, or doing the whole stretch one by one? If they have a pipeline going, most or all of them should be out soon. 

I think ( and I hope ) that we know one day how everything was done, it's an exceptional event

Quite a few sources have said the same...they wanted to take advantage of what they knew where likely easier conditions today than will be the case soon given the rains

No mention on Al Jazeera of any press conference. They just said all 6 are now out of the cave.

AGAIN, forget the bloody BBC and CNN, just keep up with this thread and you will be kept up to date with actual facts televised from the cave itself.  Stop sending me or TV  crap from CNN,n your blocking up the airwaves.....

[greenchair]

Any more? ?

[oldrunner]

Have to agree with all kudos to all involved. Drive carefully on Thai roads.

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

 

There is debate on that fact, apparently the Aussie doctor on site decided to send the weakest out first, not the other way around. I obviously can't confirm this, but I understand there will be a press release at 21:00.

 

Also heard on True Ch.32 that the remainder will be taken out tomorrow. This is second hand from the missus translating, which I believe to be true. I don't understand if they have the personnel and equipment and the route has been proven, why split the operation?

 

But, if this is so, then they have made that decision for some reason which I respect fully. Well done to everybody so far.

After the tsunami, I was able to buy a DVD with all the media on it. I expect I'll be able to do the same with this, and hopefully including what went on in the cave during the rescue. I'm sure the divers have cameras on them.

[Miss Pickle]

What fantastic news I have been following this story from Scotland such great news.Such Brave boys pray they all get out soon

[Nigeone]

Gone a little quiet after the flurry of rescues ..Is that does anyone know for the day/ evening. I'm sure the Expert divers would be tired by now .

Likely don't want to risk overexhaustion on the part of the rescuers, this is strenuous and stressful work they are doing

Mine was gin and tonic. you got off cheap mate.

I'm still hoping like hell for the kids and the divers.

[Rawairat]

Looking forward to all the kids, coach and the brave rescuers getting out and celebrating tomorrow , not forgetting all the support crew involved in this operation, great job and shows what we can do when we try

[Sheryl]

Original plan was 6 today, 6 tomorrow. some talk on CNN that they will stop for the night and resume tomorrow.

Unless it starts to rain heavily, it appears to be all over for today.

The personnel must be completely exhausted by now, better they take a break too if they can. Don't want to lose another of them.

 

[cmsally]

Twitter also mentioned that there would be 6 rescued today, third boy apparently on way to hospital.

I laughed so much, I was scared lightning would come to strike me down. 

I said a quiet apologies just in case. 

It was funny though. 

[thaibeachlovers]

VDO from the cave on Al J. the water is passing through the cave at a great rate of knots. Wouldn't make it easy to dive through that.

Respect to the divers.

[Dumbastheycome]

There  is  no  competition  in this !  Those  that  would bet  on outcome  in any sense  have  no genuine  empathy !

Let it  happen as those  that are  doing it  are  able.
