ALL CHILDREN, COACH FOUND ALIVE IN CAVE

CHIANG RAI — The governor of Chiang Rai has just announced that Navy SEALS have located all missing children and coach from the cave they went missing in nine days ago.

They were found 400 meters from a chamber called Pattaya Beach where searchers were had thought they might have found shelter from the water levels due to heavy raining.

A press conference is being held. Plans are to pump water out the cave and get doctors and nurses to them for care until they can be safely extracted, according Gov. Narongsak Osottanakorn. They will assess the conditions of all 13 — 12 footballers aged 11-16 and their 25-year-old coach — before determining the best course of action.

Another news conference will be held at about 3am.

I seriously thought that this story would not have a happy ending. I'm so glad to have been proven wrong. What a huge relief for the parents.

Fantastic result. It could be a while yet before they get them out as it's reported that they're very weak.
The photo being kicked around is not current but an old photo.

The News services have been announcing for the past few hours that they will be taking in 4 months worth of food for each person trapped there. It seems incredible but at the moment it's their feeling that it could take that long to get them all out. They have to teach each one to dive with air tanks, and then extract them one by one. That is of course unless they find a way to blast through a ceiling or wall to the outside without having to go back through all the tunnels. There is also the ongoing issue of more flooding each time the rain starts. It's not over until it's over, and it is all going to take quite some time. Pete :cheers:
