Jacob Goldberg, who is still inside the cave rescue site, has this footage of divers arriving at the cave site, to be mobbed by reporters.
Reporters and all those not directly involved in the rescue operation have been banned from entering the site, and those already inside have been give until 9am to clear out.

At 1000 AM Thai time (1100 PM ET) 13 Thai & 5 foreign divers entered cave. Rescue began.
Sounds like a good system.
Prayers continuing.
I had to turn the youtube guy off.....he was repeating same info, over and over.
So there should be news of the rescues mid-morning tomorrow. Thai time is exactly 12 hours ahead of CDT.
#ThamLaung rescue commander: “The water in cave has been pumped out to a satisfactory degree until chamber 3 (before the fork). The boys’ health condition is that they fell ready to go. The relatives have also been informed. Medics are also ready.”

The news report I watched earlier said it took the divers 5-6 hours each way, from entrance to where the kids are and back to entrance.
Lol! Not too smart to build something that you don’t know if it would fit ...
So this is going to take at least 12 hours.
Lots of them in Texas. Were/are favorite body dump sites.
Good news from the guardian...

The governor will not confirm if the boys have to dive out of the caves, which has been a point of concern in the planning of the rescue.
The governor just said that today is the best day to attempt the journey “because most of the path is walkable”.
Yes, cistern. Found from Texas to California and countless locations across the country. Not only dangerous for children but animals as well.
The cave was a regular tourist attraction over the years. It was deemed safe to visit.
It was 13 foreign, 5 Thai divers...
They are using glow sticks to light the way.
They have said the oxygen level is dangerously low where the kids are.
Why don’t they run some flexible hoses to them and pump in oxygen?
And increasing carbon dioxide levels, far more dangerous and unable to remedy.
Parents are not angry, per numerous reports on Twitter.
They’re saying ten hours round trip per kid. They have a triage set up just inside the cave and the divers will leave the kid there and return immediately for the next kid.
Read that ten am Sunday is soonest a boy could emerge.
I suspect they're going to bring them all out in sort of a train operation. I thing they'll start popping out one by one every few minutes starting around 10:00 AM EDT our time.
In the meantime, there was a weird thing going on on Twitter 2 hours ago when the rescue was launched. A bunch of (paid) bots were pushing the meme that Elon Musk was saving the day and was designing a contraption (rescue capsule) to send over there to save them. Weird. 1000's of his followers are crediting him with this rescue. He popped on after that to chime in, cleverly commenting on the rescue but careful to not personally take credit (or deny it either).
