I read that as "30m long" not "30m deep" but I might be wrong.

Elon Musk has been tweeting about a small submarine that is almost complete to pull the kids out in....sounds good, but will it fit through the restrictions.

No detail is described there. I hope he considers the 4 atmospheres of crust pressure at the very bottom of the sump and he reviews the type of restrictions that the cave divers have to go through with no-mount mode.

...
There would be a lot of hurdles to overcome, but not crush pressure presuming it works like a whole body drysuit that can be dragged through restrictions (post #67)

The Guardian is reporting that the rescue operation has begun.

Edit: rescue "extraction." The "operation" has been ongoing for a while.

Per Guardian

Seems like they have drained a lot of water and are racing against the rain system coming in.

How about this?

This sounds encouraging


The governor will not confirm if the boys have to dive out of the caves, which has been a point of concern in the planning of the rescue.

The governor just said that today is the best day to attempt the journey “because most of the path is walkable”.

Scary as all heck!

Why can't we just wait for the full story to come out eventually instead of listening/watching something based on speculation?

You know the answer to that, as you are here reading the thread.

I thought they were just summarizing what happened and clarifying some of the challenges that those rescue diver had to go through. What speculation are you referring to?
