Watching FOX on this - at least 4 boys out per them & possibly 6. Diving experts are being interviewed - very interesting. Dan Bongino has been on the phone - always good. Evidently, it was ‘now or never’ - water level expected to rise with more rains and oxygen level is low - 15% when normal is 20%. American divers saying Thai Navy Seals are excellent - have done joint ops with them (salvage/combat) although cave diving is ‘new’ to all of them. Divers/equip staged on each segment. Kids have full face masks, tethered to diver who is also carrying kid’s oxygen tank. They are able to come up in stages so not underwater the entire time. Now reporting concerns about the first boy’s condition (malnutrition, etc.). May halt ops overnight. Good graphics, showing how they’re getting the kids through the underwater sections. Prayers up for all.

Great post!
Although I heard that one diver was killed making the trip over a mile under water earlier this week. The water is really turbid,dirty, loaded with sand, hard to see. But, if anyone can do the job,terribly dangerous at best, Thai navy seals have proven their worth and continue to do so.
Bottom line there is no other choice. More rains coming this week will fill the cave and at that point all die.
