It’s every parents’ worst nightmare – their children stuck underground as rescuers work around-the-clock to save them.
For some 12 boys and their soccer coach – who have been trapped for nearly two weeks in a flooded Thai cave – Israeli technology may be part of the answer.
It’s every parents’ worst nightmare – their children stuck underground as rescuers work around-the-clock to save them.
For some 12 boys and their soccer coach – who have been trapped for nearly two weeks in a flooded Thai cave – Israeli technology may be part of the answer.
Donating the communication systems – which function like handheld radios – costs upwards of $100,000. But the resulting publicity from helping save the Thai children could easily compensate the firm many times over.
The lack of reliable communication tools hampered earlier rescue attempts. Maxtech doesn’t require a cell phone tower – and it’s being used as a lifeline for the boys to get data and video-chat with loved ones.
Because of the distance and depth – MaxTech’s devices communicate wirelessly between one another – one link at a time. It’s akin to beacons being lit one hilltop after another, gradually sending a message in a type of relay league.
A group of British divers, alongside Thai naval special forces, were the ones to first find the boys – nine days after they were reported missing.
Rescuers are racing against the weather, as monsoon season threatens to raise water levels – flooding the section of the cave where the boys are stranded. Officials are pumping out water around-the-clock.
The boys would have to be guided around murky passageways in deep water – and many of them do not know how to swim or dive. They are around 4 km. from the mouth of the cave.
It is unclear when it will be safe for them to dive out, as Thailand’s rainy season lasts through October and the boys lack specialized training.
The children are mostly in stable condition – although some worry for their physical and mental health if their predicament continues indefinitely. They are being supplied with high-protein liquid food, along with painkillers and antibiotics.
The group of mostly teenagers were playing soccer when they took first refuge in the cave from a torrential downpour.
Another Maxtech employee, Yuval Zalmanov, was reported in Hebrew media to have hopped on a flight to Thailand, equipped with emergency Maxtech devices.
Saw a brief mention that they were undergoing some sort of ‘initiation’ but no other details.
Whoa.....have some coffee!
In all fairness to the Palestinians, I understand the P. A. Offered to send 200 selfexploding experts to attempt at expanding the cave so the boys could walk out unassisted. It was reported that the Thai government spurned the offer by comparing it to “shooting all the tigers to prevent poachers”.
To my knowledge FR is 100% pro Is real. This is great news!
LOL...nice!
All I ever hear relative to Palestinians is terrorism and death.
BTTT.
??, please explain. Just poured coffee, might be slow.
Bump To The Top.
Means ‘thumbs up’ to your post (to bump it to the top of forum).
Israel is a stumbling block to the nations.
“I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. On that day, I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem” (Zechariah 12:1-2,9).
I dont want to be on the wrong side of that conflict!
Thanks & I learned something new! Enjoy your Sunday.

I would use an inertial tracking recorder to locate the place where the boys are (XYZ geo coordinates) and then drill a hole to that location.
.
In more detail,
And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. (Zechariah 14:12)
Remind you of anything?
I’m not arguing that
No need to self aggrandize and play Jewish victim card
My southern ancestors treated Yankee wounded almost right where I’m typing
And vice versa
Ditto USA in most major wars
What you did was straw man
Attribute something to the poster they didn’t say
Read the thread in context
Please especially the OPs inference about how Israel is treated here
Aerosol dilaudid
Results were mixed
Better than suicide bombers I guess
Up to 240 dead hostages
A help nobody wants to claim
And I don’t know they got that from Israel
Never heard that before
Who the heck on here is saying eff Israel? I have no doubt there are some on here with anti semitic views, but just curious about who is coming right out with it like that!?
I was watching this mini documentary/revisit of history on You Tube last night about Thalidomide.
A Jewish doctor in Jerusalem in 1964 discovered it was beneficial for patients with leprosy.
In the video they stated it’s now used to help patients with TB, cancer, AIDs, etc.
Anyway, thank goodness for intelligent, productive people. I’m grateful for them.
I often recall this story of an IDF soldier in 2011 helping to deliver a Palestinian baby:

And this was right after an entire family, The Fogels, were murdered in their home by Palestinians...including an infant girl.
Bibi is awesome. He and his bro...RIP.
I read the book The Haj by Uris. Pretty much summed it all up.
Bumping used to be a useful tool; until it was abused. No longer.
That used to be true many years ago.
The self-appointed posting police took care of that!
