These photos are gripping. Just the feet of one of the divers shows the pain and suffering all must be experiencing knocking about on jagged rocks against or pushed by rushing water. Thank heavens for the “cassette” for the boys to be carried in. Perhaps that is how the weakest will survive this last day (probably just beginning over there)? The news is that weakest go last. Prayers for all.

Hard to find photos as media was basically cut off from recording the rescue. Glad for the ones found...
