Trapped soccer players

Such a crazy story....so glad to hear that they're being rescued and it looks like they will make it out alive!!

They haven't even attempted a rescue yet. They're trying to decide what is the best plan of action. Unfortunately it could take up to a few months.

I was sure happy to hear they were still alive, but it was sad that they're all emaciated. Their health will suffer on account of this, but at least they survived the ordeal.

They said on the news that it is supposed to rain over the next couple of days which can make the rescue attempt a lot harder. I  can't wait until I hear them rescued  and safe at home

I hope and pray they get them out safely and soon.  I'm sure being underground is not much fun.

I hope they get them out soon.  I know this had to be a scary experience and I hope that they are all okay and no one is hurt.

It was crazy! So very glad they were ok too!

They were able to bring them food and, I believe they said, milk.  Also some "space blankets".   They are attempting to set up communication between the boys and their parents in hopes of keeping up their spirits.   It's wonderful how divers have come from all around the world to help these boys.   I can't imagine being one of the parents.

I am so glad they were found alive for sure.  It's an amazing story & the rescue efforts are even more amazing... they are attempting to pump out the water, so far they pumped out 30 million gallons & water is down 40% -- but there are tunnels that dip down & then back up that are still filled with water in what looks like two different sections that the kids would need to be totally submerged & swim through & almost all the kids can't swim so they have to teach them & how to dive.

I heard this morning that there are 7 rescue workers with them at all times & they switch out but there is always at least 7 there at any time.

It's like that little baby that fell in the well & they were trying to get her out for days.  Hopefully these kids will get out before the rains come shortly & they don't have to stay in the cave till OCT.   OMG... so nervous for them.

   Great! They found them alive...
   but the final rescue is very risky.

Must have been very scary. I can’t even imagine. Glad it worked out.

Just heard some bad news, one of the men from the rescue team had died.  The report said he couldn’t get his breath and died. 

[nannycoe1]

This is a great story. I hope they all get out well. I heard this morning one of the rescue divers died.

I have only seen a little about this and basically that they are trapped.  Not saw anything of the before or how this happened.  I am curious as to HOW they came to be in the cave, why were they there, and how did it come about that they are now trapped? Were they some where they were not suppose to be? Was there an accident that cause a collapse?
