“all will be brought out today, rescue Chief confirms”

Their “today” is 11 hours ahead of NY time, so it’s almost 6 PM there as I write this. Another three hours might tell the tale.

That is good if they can. Rain issue could get very bad.

Don’t forget that they still have to get the rescuers out also. I won’t breath a sigh of relief until everyone is out.

Hay Sod...My screen seems a little foggy this morning.

Hoping and praying so hard for the best.

It's going to be one hell of a cookout when everyone is united.

Prime Minister denies they were drugged by saying they were drugged:

Some reports boys are being drugged to make this journey. To be clear, Thai PM was clear today the children were not given anaesthetic: “Who the hell would give that to a kid?” He says they were given “something to make them to make them not too nervous and panic” #thamluangcave

Sedation is probably the proper word. Anesthesia makes it sound as though they’re knocking them out, which would be foolhardy under those conditions.

Hi Sac.

This story has consumed my attention.

Probably because I have a 10 year old grandson, who is a cub scout and soccer player - cannot imagine living through such an ordeal if he were in this kind of dangerous situation.
