My mrs said they are all out 3.30pm not sure if this is from a correct source.

I must have missed some of this ?

Just wondering. Is the last man out going to clean up the cavern of thermal blankets, litter etc. before the onset on the monsoon. Would hate to see these items wash further down the caves to do irrepairable damage elsewhere!

Just an off topic thought. Good luck to the remaining 5 and their brave rescuers.

Equipment and other things is not important here  the boys and coatch and the rescue workers are

the  debri and bottles can be when rain season goes  

No one has yet arrived at #thamluang cave field hospital yet but two helicopters are getting ready to fly from the site

UNCONFIRMED but AP reports seeing ambulance leave the rescue site as speculation mounts ninth boy has been rescued

The Caver's Mantra:

"Take nothing but photographs: leave nothing but footprints."

Although they probably leave the guide ropes in place as well...

 

My worry would be if the tanks come lose and got swept along by the water, they could sustain serious damage - hope they'd all get depressured if they do leave them. 

Unconfirmed: Ninth boy rescued from cave. Ambulance seen leaving Tham Luang site, AP reports. #Thailandcave

Seeing as how the Thai Navy is involved, presumably the equipment belongs to Thailand the country, rather than any individual. As such, would they not be written off if they cannot be recovered both safely and at reasonable cost?  Rather like equipment lost in a war zone? 

Another who-cares sub-thread. But my guess would be the owners will write the stuff off, and the tanks will be salvaged by villagers next year and sold on to Phuket tour dive operators who will let Chinese tourists trust their lives to it.

My guess would be that the tanks will be sold like devotionalia as having been used in THE rescue. Probably more than those used will get sold ... ?

To the leaving of the tanks inside: This is still an emergency OP. Peoples life should not be put to risk for mere material.

Being reported on Skynews now.

Thai PBS live here:

 

 

Basically sums it up in 1 picture. Everyone a hero. 

 

The Thai Navy SEALs have shared a tribute to the Australians and other international teams helping with the rescue of the trapped soccer team.

The cartoon was posted on the SEAL's Facebook page after a second successful day in the rescue of the 12 boys and their coach from a flooded cave.

The image shows a kangaroo in the flooded cave, representing the 19-strong team of Australians who are helping Thai authorities.

The post says the artist’s work symbolises "taking the boar home".

The cartoon includes 13 boars, representing the members of the football team who go by the name the Wild Boars.

 

Seals – Navy SEALs

·        Frogs – the divers

·        Lion – British team

·        Panda — Chinese team

·        Bird – Japanese team

·        Deer Moose – Swedish team

·        Tiger – Myanmar team

·        Brown elephant – Laos team

·        Dog – other rescue teams

·        Iron Man – Elon Musk

·        Birds — media

·        White Horse – everyone else who participated in the mission

Brilliant that all are safe and well.

I think we are now seeing the start of the excessive emoting sometimes known as  'Diana Syndrome'

I really hope for them that everything is over within today. Good luck and welcome back!

10th boy is out according to CNN

This was started of by one post that ended up derailing the topic.

 

This topic is about : "Boys And Coach Will Come Out Today: Cave Rescue Leader"

 

 

 

Great news !

I really hope that there are no last minute hitches and that this terrible ordeal for the lads and their soccer coach ends with everybody coming out unharmed.

God speed

Update: Source says the boys were medically sedatedhttp://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/2018/07/10/thats-nine-another-boy-rescued-from-cave/ #ThaiCaveRescue #ThamLuang #ถ้ำหลวง #13ชีวิตรอดแล้ว #ทีมหมูป่าอะคาเดมี่ #พาทีมหมูป่ากลับบ้าน

The same source confirmed rumors that the children have been medically sedated, and reviving them fully is why it takes time for them to emerge from the cave entrance.
