A couple of things to know to counter wrong views of what happened:
1. The Thai soccer coach did NOT lead the boys into the cave, he found their bicycles and went into the cave seeking them out. His presence was heroic as he helped calm them, rationed food, and led them in prayer.
2. The boys and the coach were driven further into the cave by waters rushing in from Monsoon rains. The boys did not know how to swim. Their only reaction was to run away. They ended up several miles deep into the cave from the entrance.
It is a MIRACLE that none of the boys lost their lives.
The boys were rescued by an international team and supported by locals. All are heroes as they risked their lives in the effort. One diver gave his life for the rescue as he brought oxygen and returned without enough for himself.
thanks i didnt know that...

Thank you for that good summary, Hostage.
Good info
That is very helpful. Thanks for the info.
Great post. That coach may have saved lives himself, and he is only 25!! He was orphaned, and training to be a monk.
This is the first time I have seen these facts being reported.
Never underestimate the ability of the worthless so called "journalists" to distort and confuse a story.
That said, I agree it is a MIRACLE they were all rescued. Thank you Lord!
Rest in peace and prayers for the brave Navy Seal who died trying to save everyone.
Please read post 120. The Assistant coach took them there. The head coach found their bicycles.
