Thai cave rescue

The Wild Boars football team became trapped in a Thai mountain cave with their 25-year-old coach back on 23 june.


After 9 days in the cave, a team of rescue divers finally found them sheltering on a ledge surrounded by water and immediately started taking care of the rescue.


Only after 18 days could all the team members be safely rescued and sent to hospital, to prevent future problems.

Unfortunately, a Navy diver died without oxygen, when trying to save those little boys, and I'm sure he will always be remembered for that.

I've already tried to put myself in their shoes. I can't imagine what they must have felt in that cave, but it wasn't obviously a good experience. And I was amazed about their wishes... they only asked for some good food. Nothing else.

When all 13 of them were out of the cave and in the hospital, there was a situation with the divers that were still in the cave trying to bring all the material out. The water pumps stopped draining water and the divers had to run away.

The whole world stopped to follow this situation but luckily they're all good now.
