This is an outstanding operation in every way......as a former Seal said Like traveling to the moon as far as the terrain goes, underwater. Unknown to all the divers.
The coach had a great deal to do with the stamina of these boys. Having read several articles now about the 25 year old he’s a true hero in this story. Otherwise we’d be reading about 13 bodies being found as none of the kids knew how to swim. He led them to high ground as it flash flooded the cave....then sustained them and kept them calm while they waited.
Stunning work for all the teams who are making this operation successful.
Still I have concerns about this heavy rain...there are 19 actual divers in this rescue group plus the four kids, coach, medic and 3 navy seals to be brought out....Huge operation with the possibility of more flooding.
It’s a four hour journey out from the time they leave til the kids are out. That’s a lot of people to clear from the cave in this weather.
