On Par with that Great rescue of the large group of Miners in Chilly was it, ... South America, ?

 

… Where they had to drill a hole about a meter wide, down was it 1 km ?  …  Through broken ground, and then they successfully hauled all of the miners back up to the surface, in an escape capsule, one at a time ! 

 

Do you remember that last shot as the last man got out of the Capsule,  back at the surface after many days very badly trapped, underground also ....  I almost cried.  (I have been a Miner also, as well as a big mission cave explorer) 

 

…  Gee, I do hope that someone got some good shots, of the last very lucky boy coming out of this one !  …  All Muddy and wet !  …  But Alive, … and smiling also I bet !

Thank you. I have felt this deeply.   My "grandkids" arrive tomorrow for a visit. I usually respect the 13 year old boys' embarassment at being hugged and restrain myself, but tomorrow I mos

This world is crazy.   We just had a visit from the village head complete with a bottle of "alcoholic beverage".    "Angrit number one, thankyou". The fact that I don't dive and we

They have had a reporter at the cave entrance since it started. Others I am sure also have but slower to report

All the press were removed far from the site since Sunday...unless someone's hiding in the bushes, that's not it.

 

CNN still reporting the 4 SEALs not yet out and I have not yet seen anything on twitter, so far just Al J.

Are you sure he didn't just mean all 13? They are definitely out, it is the 4 SEALs that have not been reported out yet.

They said the coach who was the last one out came out with the doctors and navy seals

"Four divers who stayed with the group were still to emerge, it added."

 

Then directly below it:

 

" Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen: "Sources telling Aljazeera the whole football team including coach and 3 navy seals and doctor have emerged from the cave!" "

So, it is hard to know what to believe.  Hoping it is the latter so all involved can get some much needed rest and relaxation.

Just waiting now for all those on Thaivisa who said that this was an impossible result to recant and admit that they were wrong. 

 

I may have to wait quite a long time......... When is Hell due to freeze over anyway?

Just read on the BBC that as the boys apparently support Man Utd, the club have officially invited them all to a game next season.

Well done to all the armchair engineers, divers, cave specialists, doctors, helicopter pilots, police officers and navy seals sitting in Issan and Pattaya drinking Leo. You were a credit to your country. You never failed us in our time of need. Special kudos to the posters who claimed that by day four they would all be dead.

At this time at least tonight lets stand united and be so happy together.

There will be tons of egg over faces this next week as the truth becomes more available.

I felt sick occasionally reading posts from all the so called experts who thought they knew everything about what was going on.

Truth is......we will probably never know.

Some of them are stateless so no passports.

 

I hope before all this is forgotten something is done re Thai citizenship for them & their families. They've brought the nation together, would only be fitting.

I am afraid you wait for nothing and it shouldnt matter...

 

Better to Focus on whats coming next related to the successfull rescue operation such as not yet revealed details inside the Cave in addition to stories about the boys and their Coach from their time in the Cave and as well after the rescue - thats what matters...:wai:

I second that idea!

The 'Wild Boars' now stand for unity and strength - their camaraderie helped them through.

The media will never let them be. It's sad. I live 8 blocks from the hospital and there are literally 1000's of journalists and well wishers in a 3 km radius. It's crazy! Videoing a building hoping some face on floor 7 or whatever shows.

How is traffic going by a building Hot News or exciting coverage?

It brings a tear to my eye every time I think of how those kids must have felt after all that time not having a clue what was going on outside, then seeing the divers just pop up out of the water. 

Magic moment for them.

The timer/counter is still running on Thairath TV channel. I presume until everyone is out or through to the hospital. Or its been forgotten. Currently showing 17 Days 3 hours 37 minutes.
