Thai Cave Rescue, Part 2

sidsmom — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 00:55:12 GMT

It’s scheduled to begin at any time.

The Guardian has a very reliable feed.

The Youtuber I follow (Agenda Free TV) said there wasn’t any activity

near the site, so maybe it will be delayed for a couple more hours...

but it’s definite something needs to happen this evening to

get the rest of the group out.

Thanks for the update. I’ll be waiting and praying with the rest of the world. I thought I read it takes about 6 hours to go the 2-1/2 miles to get out.

@sidsmom Thanks for the information, it has been on my mind throughout the day....the sense of urgency to remove everyone in the cave quickly for many reasons. I'm glad they are moving on it, in spite of weather conditions

Update (CBS/Thai media):

Coach was one of the first 4 people rescued.

The coach was one of the first four rescued? That doesn't make any sense; you'd expect him to stay until the last boy was rescued. Unless he became ill and his life was threatened, if he remained. In which case, they would've had to leave another adult with the boys. They couldn't leave them alone in the cave overnight.

The reports I'm reading says that 8 boys and the coach are still inside the cave.

A Thai news outlet posted that the coach was one of the rescued, but all other news outlets are still reporting that the rescued were four boys and that the coach remains with the others.

CBS is saying that the coach WAS one of the four rescued. They're saying that he was in the worst shape because he had been giving all of the food and water to the boys.

I honestly think the Thai Media/Government is keeping a lot

of info close to the chest until it’s 100% complete.

Is what they are saying accurate?

Maybe; maybe not.

Logically I know what we hear/read is one thing,

but I’m so emotionally involved w/ the story,

I can’t help but follow! I’m kinda/sorta glad tomorrow

is a weekday. At this point, as long as everyone, including divers,

comes away from this alive, that’s good for me..I don’t need

all the detail...or do I?? Ha #NewsJunkie

I really do think they will tell us something/everything

when they’re ready to tell us.

According to the New York Post, the four rescued were the following named children:

The four young soccer players rescued from a Thai cave Sunday included the team’s goalie and a boy who didn’t even play with them but joined the group that day to be with his pal.

Officials identified the rescued boys as Mongkol Boonpiam, 13, Nattawut Thakamsong and Prajak Sutham, both 14 and Pipat Bodhi, 15, according to reports.

@sidsmom,

Hoping the rest of the rescue goes well,

@sidsmom

The cartoon on by the artist Sisidea is being widely shared on Thai social media.

It portrays each of the groups taking part in the rescue using animals.

Narongsak is the elephant 🐘

Boys soccer team are the wild boars 🐗

Volunteers are white horses 🐎

Thai Navy seals are seals

Thai and international divers are frogs 🐸

English divers are lions 🦁

Austrailians are kangaroos

Chinese team are the pandas 🐼

Japanese team are the cranes

Swedes - moose

Burmese - tigers 🐅

Laos specialists - Brown elephants 🐘

Police - dogs 🐕

Iron man is Elon Musk

The birds 🦅 flying the opposite direction is everyone else - media, Thai bloggers who have been criticising the operation.

Media complaints

Thai rescue officials have complained about some of the media coverage of the rescue mission. Officials have accused the media of hacking police radios and publishing incorrect information.

It's true that little/conflicting information has been reported. Here reporters would have been all over it...the hospital personnel would have been presenting press conferences regarding the health of the boys rescued. I still read conflicting information as to whether the weakest/strongest boys were released first, apparently one news station reported yesterday that the coach was already rescued! Yes, it has been a roller coaster ride regarding the press, but I certainly can't understand any criticism of the rescue efforts.

We just care that this miraculous rescue is taking place and successful with the exception of the devastating unfortunate death of the navy seal. So glad the rescue has moved ahead.

8th boy out!

now being reported that the rescue operations are done for the day.....

Re: Thai Cave Rescue, Part 2

NickNack — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 12:15:11 GMT

If they can only bring four people out at a time due to only so many oxygen tanks, will the Coach have to remain by himself for twelve hours? I hope they're able to bring him out tomorrow morning with the next group.
