I find it both amazing and immensely sad the number of posters that post negatively in one way or another on something as important as this rescue, why can folks not accept that there are large numbers of vastly experienced people on site, who are dealing with a pretty unique situation in the best way they collectively see possible?

If they deemed that the best and safest way to achieve the ultimate goal of rescuing all 13 people without any further loss of life was to do this in batches, then you can be pretty certain they are right, all of the risks will have been calculated and then assessed so that they are as low as reasonably practical, no operation like this is without risk.

Hopefully today will bring further good news.

At a minimum they are certainly more likely to be right than any of us viewing this from afar.

 

And results so far argue for more, not less, confidence in what they are doing.

Exactly, even though I am not a diver, nor am I ever likely to be, I have worked in a professional way with hundreds over the years who are very experienced saturation divers and I'd be pretty safe in saying that not one of them would attempt this rescue, the people they have on site are 100% the right people to get this done, though one of the guys up there advising is one of those.

From my exposure to diving in a commercial sense, then I do know that some of the recovery suggestions that have been made in TVF are so far off what is possible it is untrue.

Thailand cave rescue operation: All the latest updates

Somehow, I do not think the Coach would or will be the one making the decisions on what order they are evacuated, I would assume that that will be done by the professionals of the rescue team. And whatever their decision we have to respect that they know best, having all the circumstances at first hand.

The whole world is willing them all out, lets just keep willing and it will happen. No blame anywhere, only the highest praise for everyone involved, everyone doing the best they can according to the circumstances.

[Belzybob]

The Bangkok Post were consistently reporting from last night that the coach was one of the four out, but they don't mention that in their current articles.

Superb efforts!

I am sticking to my theory that they are being sedated to bring them out and it therefore follows logically that the coach would be the first one out. This is because he would volunteer to be first to demonstrate to the boys that the method is safe and to reassure them prior to them having to be put under themselves. I think that anyone would be reluctant under the circumstances and the pause in the rescue gives time for the rescue team to be able to relay photos and video evidence back to the younger boys in the cave. This guy has bigger balls than a lot of you are giving him credit for.

No need to stick to your theory anymore as I previous stated the Coach should be the last as he will function as a mental and moral support:

 

Eight boys and their coach remain trapped

With other words we can expect 4 more to be rescued today between 4-7pm - that would be great!

[NCC1701A]

as per press conference confirmed: expect today's mission to end in 3 or 4 hours. Maybe sooner.

The best would be as yesterday to not be exposed for daylight

 

If they succeed today With 4 more I assume they plan to rescue the rest tomorrow (4 boys + Coach) in one GO!

I wonder if the boys from the richest (influential) families get out first.

I don't have the impression any of these families are at all wealthy.

A troll post has been removed.

[tifino]

from the News streaming into Australian TV;

they are keeping Mum on the names of the released, and keeping the saved boys families from visiting,

so as to not create any 'why not our boy?' syndrome amongst the families of the ones still down the hole

I understand your thinking, but I would say no, as from what I read, the doctor who decides is not Thai, maybe Australian.

They should have a stupidity button.

Could tally up the hits, winner awarded Pun-ya-on of the year.

It would be a fierce competition.

Christ on a bike!

 

These boys are from a village school football team, in a rural mountain area on the northern edge of Chiang Rai. At least one of them is Akka, from a family sufficiently poor to have him cared for by a local church. Influential? Wealthy?

 

Did you go on a special course to learn how to make such fatuous remarks?
