Photograph: Jonathan Williams/Facebook One of the team who found the 12 young footballers tells of restaging the mission for a film Rebecca Ratcliffe in Bangkok In October 2020, Rick Stanton readied his wetsuit, dive harness, cylinders and regulators. He was preparing to plunge into the underwater filming stage at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire: a six-metre deep tank, surrounded by dark walls prepared with an artificial cave passage. Stanton, along with six other British divers, was recreating the extraordinary Tham Luang cave rescue mission in which he took part, an operation that gripped the world’s attention in 2018, and which saved 12 teenage footballers and their assistant coach who had become trapped in the north Thailand cave. The result is The Rescue, a documentary film, which was released in the US on 8 October and opens in the UK on 29 October. It promises to re-tell the story of the rescue in nailbiting detail. “We say that in Thailand we made it possibly look a bit too easy,” said Stanton. “Every day we went in and brought the boys out. But no one knew what actually happened, so we did want to tell our story.” Full story: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/oct/10/british-diver-relives-gripping-thai-cave-rescue -- © Copyright The Guardian 2021-10-11 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gold Star Posted October 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2021 Netflix is filming another Tham Luang cave rescue film right now in the Chiang Rai area. Many locals are employed here as extras for the shooting. I wonder in the end if the boys will survive in this film too...? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Karma80 Posted October 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2021 I'm a lifelong keen diver, but the story just feels a little milked to death in documentaries and movies without yet another. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tropicalevo Posted October 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2021 At the end of the day it was a brilliant (and dangerous) rescue. Full credit to everyone involved. The British divers - and other Nationalities. The local population who were there every day supporting the rescue teams. Farmers who had their fields flooded when they pumped out the water. The Thai Navy personal. The then governor who went against 'orders from on high' to tell the truth and support the real events. (He subsequently lost his job.) Yes, it has all been mentioned before. That does not make it any less amazing. RIP Saman. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article says he wore a wetsuit during the rescue in October 2020. There's nothing implying that is a picture of him from then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost certain that the hero will be an American teenager, played by an actor who is really about 35. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the West they would have been claiming their lives were ruined and lawsuits would have been flying. In this case they seemed to have preferred to express their gratitude and shown great dignity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
