12 boys and soccer coach stuck in Thailand Cave [All rescued] (Read OP)
- Thread starter Yukari
- Start date
This was designed, produced, and tested in like a week? Wow, incredible work.
Im sorry but Musk didn't invite himself, an outside source asked him to help them. Entirely different purpose
Considering a diver is dead I sure wouldn't call this a feel good story, even if all the kids make it out alive.
Considering what the kids themselves went through, too... this has at best the potential to be a don't feel like garbage story.
I'm sorry but I don't understand what you're saying here?
okay the Musk contraption is terrifying and too unwieldy but it's cool that they developed this in such a short time and perhaps they could improve on it in the future
for the purpose it was constructed, I'm not entirely sure why it has to be completely rigid, enclosed and airtight. It's sufficient to give the person being carried a full-face mask

It's three kids and the coach that got rescued, not four kids. The coach was in a bad shape so needed to be taken out from the cave.
I'm actually very certain that it will start anywhere from the next hour to about 10 hours from now. They said ten to 20 hours around 8AM mountain time.
Where are you getting this from? First I've seen of this correction.
A real hero, may he rest in peace. But where I'm coming from is, last update I checked on this incident they weren't even found yet few days after they went missing and honestly lost all hope for anyone making it out alive.
Just saw it mentioned on CBS.
Really neat if it can be used for future purposes all well.
thread is moving too fast, how are they getting the kids out? is water level low enough for them to walk?
Pairs of trained divers are accompanying them, they are given full face scuba masks.

It is about 8 hours to get them out, with some parts about 38 cm narrow.
Allright heroes god speed out there I hope everyone stays safe!!!!!
Good luck and success to the rest of the kids and the heroes saving them, I really hope this becomes another successful operation
Hmm I happy he is safe but shouldn't priority be to the kids
I mean he's an adult
He was also in the worst health. He also had been giving all his food and water to the kids.
I understand it's just when I was kid if I was in a scary situation without an adult it made it feel worse
Like he's was possibly giving them comfort . Glad he's ok though I hope they are not more scared with him gone and just waiting it out , they seem like brave boys
They are with the other divers some of them have made bonds with them I know what you say but his health was getting worse
Pretty sure their have been divers with the kids at all times since they were found.
Wow. Thanks for the link. Gave most of what he had to the kids... truly heroic.
The coach is only nine years older than the oldest boy. Who knows how much physical exertion was made just getting those boys in a rush to the safe spot at the beginning. Plus he's had all the responsibility on his shoulders, providing support and giving his food—sounds like he very nearly starved to death and must be more emotionally taxed than the children, being an adult and not feeling quite so invincible, on top of being in charge in an incredibly dire situation. The situation is potentially deadly for adults as well as children. Everyone is in the best of hands now, and split into groups anyway. The coach's job is done. Let him rest.
It should. I don't mean to second guess the rescuers, I will trust that they made the choice they felt was the most necessary regardless of whether or not the coach was really among the first group. To me it's more a lesson that perhaps we should all take to heart, that if we're ever in a situation like this that perhaps the most selfless or heroic actions may actually backfire from our initial intentions. I feel really bad for the coach if he was among the first, gotta feel like shit to be the adult responsible, not at fault, for those children, feel the guilt and weight from that and try and make up for it by trying to help them recover faster just to make yourself the biggest burden of the group and in need of rescue first and now he'll have to live with this. I can't imagine that feeling. It's something we should all keep in mind if we're ever in a situation like this.
There are other adults with the kids. If they waited to evacuate the coach he would have been too weak to make the journey.
For those curious about the coach and who he is, this was pretty informative: https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/coach-weakest-in-group-he-gave-the-boys-his-share-of-food
Hope the second round goes well.
Would be a neat if the Musk device becomes something that could save lives down the road.

This was great to read. Always great to read about people that do so much for others like he has.
