An elite team of Thai Navy SEALs and foreign rescue divers brought out the final four boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave near the Thai-Myanmar border, extracting the team through a labyrinth of tight passages after they spent two weeks trapped in darkness.
The operation on Tuesday moved quickly, raising hopes that all 12 boys and their adult coach from the Wild Boars soccer team would be at the surface by the end of the day.
"We are not sure if this is a miracle, a science, or what. All the thirteen Wild Boars are now out of the cave," the Thai navy SEALs, which is helping to lead the operation, said on its Facebook page.
Earlier, the unit had written, "Today, the boar's pack will be reunited again."
One by one, the last of the remaining four boys were carried to ambulances that whisked them to evacuation helicopters and finally, on to the hospital.
BREAKING: Everyone at the press centre - volunteers and media - near the cave site just applauded and cheered as a helicopter flew overhead - flying one or more of the boys to the hospital in Chiang Rai? #ThaiCaveRescue @AFP

The boys, ranging in age from 11 to 16, and their coach, 25, set out to explore the Tham Luang Nang Non cave system on June 23, but they became trapped after heavy rains quickly flooded passages. Divers finally located them on July 2, allowing emergency crews to send them food and supplies.

Awesome news1
Thank you for your comment. Most boys daydream constantly about being a hero and rescuing people. Especially rescuing women. It’s how we are wired. Just like women are wired to nurture and care for people. That said, I also realize women can be superhuman when it comes to protecting their children!
Now we can ask the question: Why did this coach bring these kids so deep into these very dangerous caves? Was he trying to kill them all? Was he suicidal? Was he abusive, and was trying to get rid of the evidence?

Oh, SERIOUSLY? Get a grip.
It was a traditional thing for them to go into the cave. They couldn’t have known the weather was going to trap them in there. To me, the coach is a hero - he kept them alive, safe and sane until help came for them, then took responsibility for leading them there in the first place. And YOU think he’s some kind of child molester or would-be murderer!

Shame on you.
.
Not to worry, I am sure they will make up for it by portraying one or two as gay and at least one tranny.
I heard that FIFA invited the team to go to Moscow to watch the World Cup Final.
Should be girls in leadership roles in this movie
Wow, in today’s PC climate, I can imagine Hollywood taking poetic license, and make sure there is a gay character.
Good info
Now- put some explosives in the entrance and seal it off so no one else DIES because of their own-or someone elses(the coach) utter STUPIDITY! I’m sorry, but that level of stupidity SHOULD hurt( but not other people). Lets see if this teaches anyone anything.
Great news this morning!

Dumbest idea ever.
Maybe they should flatten Mt. Everest too./s
.
Now lets get the rescuers out...and everybody gets a good rest...thank God for giving the rescuers and all others the strength and skill to pull this off. Fantastic work.
Being reported...”Last three Thai navy divers and medic have also left cave, ending perilous operation in northern Thailand”
WOO HOO!
Whew...thanks......relief all around.....
Whew...thanks......relief all around.....
And they did it without Elon Musk. Wow.
/s
You are obviously still in the dark about the facts of this happening. The coach is seen by the parents and the Thai people as a hero..which he is. Read up and acquaint yourself with this event and why it happened......flash floods are nothing to ignore is a good place to start.
