The coach that led them in sent out a preemptive apology to the parents. I'm sure he wants to prevent a lynch mob forming at the entrance.
Beginning to have a bad feeling about this....
Give them all ‘small’ air tanks and a long long rope with each one attached and start pulling??
Their biggest threat/worry is more rainfall.
Their actions caused a man to die.
PS: Our coach is an idiot.
I just read this on our local news site

I haven’t yet seen anything about whether this is basically standing pooled water, or is a genuine underground creek.
One diagram indicated there is another vein that meets up half way to their location, and THAT is where overflow comes from. So that entrance must be uphill, while the entrance they walked into must be basically level with them. And it implies to me that there is no “flow” per se - only as a consequence of current rains flowing in, which implies to me that that vein is essentially a run-off creek only, and not a genuine permanent creek. Then I’d think at least they don’t have much “current” to deal with, but some statements make me question that.
