Why...do you know them personally? Good news is some are already out and remaining others will be extracted ASAP. 

It is being reported that the weakest boys will be taken out first.

?

 

But we must still keep fingers tightly crossed for the remainder of them, they likely started with the fittest

They doctors that are inside the cave decided to start with the weakest first. It is a great day and let's hope that it continues with safety

Has it been confirmed that only 4 boys are at the hospital and the 2 other boys are still inside the cave ,but now in chamber 3 ?

Pressonitis is a killer. 

 

The feeling of "I can keep on forever" sadly kills more people than those who say "we need a break".

Especially rescue cave diving.

Told ya those wild boar are tough!we aren’t done yet kudos to all praying for continued success and safety

The big question now is which 4 boys got rescued and who is still in the cave?

I think from the start it was a agreed that all of the boys extracted would have their identity/names suppressed due to the media barrage that could and would unfold, not only to the immediate family, but to all related, friends etc  ... This is why a blanket on media has been enforced at the cave and from CR Army base to the CR hospital.  I think it was a good call.  Imagine having cameras and people shoved in your face asking how happy you are that your son/friend/acquaintance has been miraculously saved and your only thoughts, over sleepless nights, are for all, including rescuers to have the same positive outcome.  Lets get em all out, we can talk names, dates etc etc later.

The live news coverage shows torrential rain again this evening. Just underscores how treacherous this ongoing operation is.

Human endurance has absolute limits, the rescuers, best be working on 12/12 shifts, the boys don't have that luxury.  Positive energy as much as we can collectively send to their effort. Please all focus and if such a thing exists, give what you can.

Something different than how these rescuers and Team Moo Pa are being handled. Perhaps they take a look at these Chinese owned and managed tour companies employing local Thai's that are apparently cutting corners.

This thread is on the cave rescue of the 12 young footballers and their coach. It has nothing to do with the Chinese so go away and start another thread on the Chinese if you are so interested in them and leave this thread to those that are interested in the cave rescue.

No. Still unclear.

 

The official announcement, as far as I understood it, mentioned only  4 out and 9 still in the cave.

 

Some reports that 2 of those 9 are in fact in Chamber 3 already but this is unconfirmed.

[Dmaxdan]

According to the live BBC news 4 boys, not 6 are out and there will be no more rescues today with the teams resuming work tomorrow at 8am.

I don't think so. The doctor who has been statyuing continuously with the boys is a Thai Navy Deal doc.

 

Australian dive medicine specialist went in to assess the boy's fitness for the extraction and then came out again.

 

Did anyone catch from the Press Conference if they stuck to the fittest first plan or brought out the weakest as some reports have indicated?

[Easy Come Easy Go]

I'm going to voice my opinion here, I think it's a valid point nobody is mentioning. 
The adult of the group, the leader. Surely he is accountable for those kids. If you had a kid that went with him, your son, and that son was stuck in a cave for the duration and could possibly die, wouldn't you hold him accountable? On top of that, someone has died because of this, not to mention the monetary cost. I dunno, I don't see why people aren't looking at him in all of this, he was the only adult and thus the guardian of the kids.

If I had a kid in this situation, after literally losing days of sleep wondering the heck that son was, fearing the worse, I would be majorly pi55ed at the adult in the situation, that's for sure

It is not important what nationality the doctor in the cave is, he is a doctor, and he decided to get the weakest boys out first so that they could get medical treatment.

Your opinion has been voiced by others days ago. This is the time for rescue, not apportioning blame or seeking revenge or culpability.

I think to the majority it's just a soap opera. Doubt anybody here actually knows the kids. You know it's a media event when Trump tweets about it.

 

How many of these cave rescues happen yearly in Thailand without so much as a mention? This one happened to go viral.

The difference between this event and many others is that what`s taking place here is a miracle. I personally thought at first those kids had no chance and that it would take Superman to get them out of that cave. This will go down in history as one of the greatest achievements involving an international effort. 

 

This has struck the hearts of people worldwide and not only that, the devotion, determination and shear efforts involved, going right to the top, plus the unity this has brought between not only the Thais but also between nations, makes this rescue operation unique and stand way above all the rest.

And please stop the blame game it doesn’t help how would you like to be that guy knowing you are the cause of this walk a mile in his shoes

It has been discussed extensively in other threads, whole threads devoted to it.

 

Please give it a rest now. This is not the time for it. 9 lives still hang in the balance (more if we consider the rescuers), rescue is still in progress.

The doctor that went in to assess the boy's fitness is an Australian doctor and not just a dive medicine specialist. They brought out the weakest first so that they could get quicker medical treatment. One of the first boys out was declared a "code red" for medical treatment.

[Sheryl]

I very much hope that by morning we have some update on the condition of the one boy (#3 out, I think) described as being ill/in bad shape.

The M word. Yes, that seems to be thrown around a lot and I'm amazed how many religious people came out of the closet. 

 

It's the few dozen divers in the cave doing all the dirty work, they and their support crews deserve the credit. Don't steal it in the name of the great spaghetti monster.

Well he obviously has some experience in diving, he certainly is a doctor and I really dont give a fly for where is from. He has made a good call, with a result.

Of course, but they should concentrate on their rescue first. Personally, I think he should be put in jail.

I think you are jumping the gun a bit here, there is still a lot nobody knows and we should all wait till this is over and everyone is safe and well before we start giving any opinions.

At this stage we do not know who is at fault if anybody.
