12 boys lost in flooded Thai cave

[MikeyIdea]

Man that's gotta be stressful for everyone involved. Even though you have validation that the process works, now you've gotta go back and do it again 9 more times. Plus however many else are in the cave helping out.

I bet those divers are toast from the first dive, physically AND mentally. Although I do find it funny that the Thai Navy SEALs have wished everyone sweet dreams.

The few Thai Navy SEALS I have met are really cool guys, you'd like them

Thai news clearly report 4 boys rescued, I think 6 is wrong. The first 4 were the strongest boys, no info about who will join the next batch

Maybe

Negative, only 4 kids out. They must have corrected their stories since you first saw them.

Does anyone know if the kids are actually diving? Or walking?

 

[Mrs. B]

I make no claims about any media report, think of it as a data point

I thought this was funny
“He might have been on to something. A few tesla batteries would have boiled the cave dry in next to no time.”

News says that between rock chipping and water removal they are minimizing their time submerged. Also news says using full face mask.

Dutch media corrected it from 6 boys rescued to 4.

They claimed eye witnesses said 6 at first, but this has been disproved.

Skip the pissing contest, any reliable indication when round 2 starts?
