Soccer team lost in Flooded coves

After they get the last boy off that ledge ,and in the water, they should sayonara to the coach and hand him a flashlight.

No, actually they should say “wait here, we’ll be back”

I was looking at instagram right before I read your post and I was actually confused for a second after reading it because I couldn't find the "like" button

Just imagine sitting down there for days on end in the dark with no clue about whether anyone is coming to help. Unreal....

He had hurt me a thousand times and I had suffered quietly. Then I learned that he had laughed at my proud name.

It was great right up until this
"CityNews will update this article as and when more information is released.

Apologies if any news comes late as many sources have begun to stop posting due to complaints by the Army for exposing the faces of the Navy SEALS in photos of the rescue, which is a ‘threat to national security’."

Why can't they just string a mile long rope through the murky escape route and take the kids, scuba tanks engaged, following the rope with one pro diver in front and one pro diver behind making sure the kid stays on the proper route while also making sure they are breathing OK with the scuba gear.. Sure, would take a day or two to teach them how to use the regulators but seems doable with a guide rope and a couple divers escorting them out.

They have to get in and out of the water, look at the maps in the links above. So multiple dives.

Oh and Panic. Scuba with the surface just above your head is one thing, in a cave, in the dark, with no visibility is another. From the Chain Mai link above it sounds like the best cave dive rescuers in the world were struggling to make progress in the conditions in the cave.

Cave diving is for crazy people IMO. And a lot of them die doing it.

Where's FatkidfromFlorida??? I think he has cave diving experience.

I can't imagine it

I think visibility is zero. If a kid loses his mask or regulator you wouldn’t know.

Yeah cave diving is a very unique animal. Sounds like in addition to the no visibility tight passages there is some flow going through them which would really compound the difficulty of making it work.

They will be able to do lot of training with the boys before they make the actual journey.

Panic is a real thing diving. Dry drowning is where no water enters the lungs, but the victim drowns.

That’s probably essentially what they’ll do.

Bet they’ll get some of the most modern scuba masks that incorporates the regulator and train them before pulling out one by one.

Duct Tape!

[Cono Este]

I read they are taking donations to buy child sized masks. That must be bullshit.

They need to put em in pods with life support.

The water doesn't have to drain all the way out to make it a hell of a lot easier, it drains anyways and apparently they're pumping like bastards, I bet they wait a bit.

It would take a while to put the whole scuba thing together anyways and it might not work well, what's the rush?

Drilling a shaft seems like a good idea. I the Chilean Miner saga.

GASP and GGSX are experts at it and will only need guns and tourniquets to get the job done..

[Kevo]

This is such a crazy survival story. Can't wait till they get the team out of there.

News I heard was that the route out is over a mile and a half long. Some underwater sections are so difficult and narrow that the S&R cave divers had to take their kit off to get through. I imagine if they are going for the tunnel extraction, they will be trying to open it up and cut through restrictions, stalactites and stalagmites.

[LHutz Esq]

^ never done any cave diving, but have done structural collapse training with the Fire Department.

Donning and doffing scba gear is hard enough in the dark in tight spots without trying it underwater. Not sure how you train kids to do that unless you could provide some sort of air line so they don't have to use tanks?

I have a bad feeling about this .........


And a question: how did they get where they are? It couldn't have been through passages that are so tight and narrow that you have to remove your SCUBA gear when swimming the same pathway.

When the water is rising you will go where ever you have to go.

1 1/2 miles takes a good college swimmer 30 minutes in a nice lap pool on a sunny day.

Now take those conditions to the worst possible aquatic conditions imaginable. It’s probably a journey of several hours. Meaning switching tanks etc but like Iceman said, if the water level drops, then you may have multiple rest stops along the way etc.

if the water level drops.
