They are bringing these boys out of the cave right now three out so far. While efforts to pump out floodwaters are continuing, some Thai officials have indicated that heavy rains forecast for this weekend could force them to decide the boys should swim and dive out using the same complicated route of narrow passageways through which their rescuers entered. https://www.twincities.com/2018/07/05/soccer-players-speaking-from-thai-cave-say-they-are-healthy/

Watching FOX on this - at least 4 boys out per them & possibly 6. Diving experts are being interviewed - very interesting. Dan Bongino has been on the phone - always good. Evidently, it was ‘now or never’ - water level expected to rise with more rains and oxygen level is low - 15% when normal is 20%. American divers saying Thai Navy Seals are excellent - have done joint ops with them (salvage/combat) although cave diving is ‘new’ to all of them. Divers/equip staged on each segment. Kids have full face masks, tethered to diver who is also carrying kid’s oxygen tank. They are able to come up in stages so not underwater the entire time. Now reporting concerns about the first boy’s condition (malnutrition, etc.). May halt ops overnight. Good graphics, showing how they’re getting the kids through the underwater sections. Prayers up for all.
