Thai rath no longer being shown on the tv. I'm guessing it's over for today.

9pm Monday night in Australia and they are saying that all the boys have been rescued.  They are saying it was a team of Aussie medical divers that did it.  Not sure of the truth of it but good show if so.

Yes thats right, probably another 3-4 today then the massive task of replenishing all the tanks, tanks for the guys going in and out replenishing the tanks, bringing out empties etc. I imagine 100s of tanks and 100s of 3 hour return trips to replenish all the tanks again.

I imagine a substantial number of these tanks are positioned/swapped in sections large enough so that the empty ones don't have to evacuated now

It would be a useless risk

Air tanks are an easy supply and I guess they just bring in the full ones and leave the empty ones for after the monsoon

(but sure some sections may require moving the used ones further to clear the way)

Is this the drone from yesterday - apparently PPTV

Surely we haven't got a repeat idiot doing this today !?

A TV station stating 5 & 6 out and boys 7 & 8 are slowly being bought to the surface.

radar is clear over the cave north of chiang rai

Good news but you need to look much further out.  Underground flooding can result from storms miles away, depending on drainage channels.   

I'm familiar with hiking in the slot canyons in Southern Utah where flash floods are a risk.  Experts advise to check forecasts for rain as far as 20 to 30 miles away.

Thats just the 6pm propaganda thing isn't it, all channels the same until its finished. 

[NCC1701A]

UPDATE at 6:15pm: Lots of conflicting reports this time round and so I’m being careful what I relay to you. Some report 6th boy out. Others saying 7th out as well. Please standby. #ThamLuang #พาทีมหมูป่ากลับบ้าน #ถ้ำหลวง #Thailand

Don't know, but they didn't show anything to do with the rescue after, so perhaps nothing to be seen.

this radar is 240 kilometers in all directions. looks like some very light rain 60 kilometers to the south

It seems that Thaibeachlover has managed to bring the clouds over Chiang Mai after bringing a stuffed envelope to his temple...

[NCC1701A]

Rescue staff says divers arrived with four more kids in the third chamber. From there it's less than 2km to the cave entrance.

Why presume  to say that? 

 

Any one of a million factors could differ.

doesn't each boy get evaluated at the field hospital first before being flown or taken by ambulance to the hospital?

Actually, it seems to be the standard procedure for this operation.  All of the boys are being looked over by the medical team at the field hospital before being taken to the hospital (a significant distance away but I'm not sure the exact distance)

Did they say Australia were in the World Cup semis too?

All the kids are seen first in field hospital, before transfer to CR. They did the same with the 4 yesterday
