Cool but I hope they don’t take any unnecessary risks in getting the kids out. They can leave the coach in for a few more months. We’ll call it time served.

I remember being transfixed by the Jessica story.

I think what horrifies me about this is that every single brave rescuer is in just as much danger as the poor kids-—there are so many that have to be involved.

Lots of praying will be going on-—I hope.

Sounds like they are going for the swim option. No media in case things go wrong.....prayers for all involved.

There were signs posted outside the cave to not enter during monsoon season. It is monsoon season. The coach (assistant) disregarded the warning.

Reminds me of the Chilean minors, minus the wives, girlfriends and mistresses.

Heard on news it rained today, then paused, then raining again. More in forecast. Looks like it was the only option left. May our Loving God watch over them and bring all out safely. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

When the coach has to face the angry parents he may turn around and go back in.

Yes. Just as dangerous for the rescuers.

Worldwide prayers going up.

Guy on youtube said it can take over 12 hours for rescue, with the number of boys.

“Elin Musk says it would take 25 hours to get his mini sub/capsule constructed & transported there.”

There are points so narrow in the passageway that adult divers have to remove their tanks to get through. Elon is just blowing smoke, as usual.

Evidently Musk did read the exact dimensions and situation there. You can’t use a mini sub in that cave.
