Christ the standard of English is really dropping at the Beep...didnt realise air flowed down a cable "Authorities are now working to get a 5km (3 mile) cable into the cave to supply the group with air." What do you expect, even their ace reporter Richard is unable to pronounce Pattaya properly. |

They've go an air line in. It seems the authorities have also decided waiting the rainy season out is not an option.

Most of the boys cannot swim? If that's true I would imagine that's solved within a few hours if they have enough water around them. Mind you there's a difference between swimming and scuba diving. Different kettle of fish all together.
Seems Elon Musk has offered help. Not sure about theBoringCompany but his PowerPacks might be handy. No response from Thai government yet, but they may be having a problem looking at all proposals from well-meaning busybodies.

No response from Thai government yet, but they may be having a problem looking at all proposals from well-meaning busybodies. Reading some other sources, seems it would take 4 to 6 hours underwater to swim the boys out...and suspect that were the issue is, they said in the report, this journey is very difficult technical challange for very experienced cave divers Elon Musk....I great he has offered to hrlp but instead of coming up with hair brained ideas on twitter, he should have just said to the Thai gov is...... "all our resources are at your disposal, just tell us what you need and its done" Plastic inflatable tubes !...same as bouncy castles !...Elon should stick to IT and batteries |

One diver interviewed said it takes 3 days to pass a scuba diving course for perfect conditions. here we have a route where the divers have to take their tanks off. Those kids will need balls of steel.

Thai TV via my Mrs. An attempt to move 4 out will be made today. TV crews have been ordered to vacate the area in front of the caves. Fingers crossed.

Kids often do not have the fears older folKs do. These kids have experienced a living hell and still are. . The only way is up and out.

FIODDED" So tell me in what month did the team get stuck? PS while they improve the sign maybe an English teacher should look at proper, but simple writing in real English? |
