Amazing! What an incredible sequence of events.

Well then I stand corrected. The initial story I heard made it sound like he led the kids in.

Amazing! Well done, heroes.
Yes, let's call the man that went in to try and rescue his young team after they went missing, found them and directed them to find higher ground a bonehead.
Man is a hero.
I mean that's 10000% a position you can take in hindsight, but it's a well known and visited cave system. Apparently local boys venture in it all the time without 'a knowledgeable guide'. I'm sure the guy is wrought with grief and mental anguish enough about this whole ordeal without some Western dude sitting on his computer giving the most insightful of takes, "Hmph wellll I would never go in a cave!! Stupid man, doing a thing people have been doing for years without major issues! Think of the children!"
This being said, amazing job by all involved.
So, so glad that all the kids were rescued. I also hope the diver who gave his life in the efgort will be properly recognized.
Another reason people should shut up before all the information is out. Internet lynch mobs need to stop.
Put cave monsters in it and cast the Raid guys and set it in Java. And the Coach is an evil robot. And the kids are all hot adult women. And it's not a cave it's an underground lair and the water is lava.
That would be interesting, maybe the kids would think it's a cave monster at first. Did the British divers know Thai or does the coach and kids understand English?

Now I can relax. :-)
12 young Navy Seals, a free vacatian in Java. A secret treasure. A hidden cave. Cocaine Pirates and an underground lair. Deadly water, and deadlier lava.
Starring all the Chrises, some of the Toms, ane one Micheal Douglas as Captain 'Coach' Summers. Elon Musk as himself.
coming Summer 2019. The Cave.
They probs would have seen the torch light first even in the muddy water.

Calm heads and not rushing played a massive part in getting these kids out safely.
I agree with you on principle - however this is a man who plainly expressed that the UK was a shitshow but Russia was great - this morning. A man who attacks Canada, Germany and France regularly and who bypasses congress to allow specific Chinese trades while US farmers go out of business. Every diplomatic effort by him must be viewed through that lens.
This makes me so fucking happy. I'm sad for the diver that gave his life though, apparently his sacrifice made the rescue team re-think their entire approach to the rescue from when CNN and a few other places are reporting.
Those boys and their coach are safe! Beyond happy right now that they made it. It was looking so grim this time last week

he didn't do anything beside being there in case they need his mini submarine which they didn't use. Not to hate on the guy but he's not the reason the boys got out.
So, so happy to see they all got out. This was one roller coaster of emotions story. Can't wait to hear them tell their version of how things played out, in time. I really hope they take care of these kids and their coach. I wonder if there are any future divers there. I'm betting so. And a future SEAL maybe...
At least one of the kids studied English, and talked to the British divers.
Doctors barred them from going to World Cup. They need to recover.
That's 5 days away, they couldn't recover enough in 5 days for an aeroplane flight? Damn that SUCKS big time, and would have been a perfect ending to the hollywood movie that's being planned.
"And roll credits"

There are a lot of heroes in this story and it is great that all of the kids were able to survive and safe. The assistant coach was incredible for able to keep all those kids in decent health and alive after all those days alone in the dark, as well as rationing the leftover food for them, while starving himself so they could stay alive. I'm twenty-three too and I honestly don't know how I would have reacted under the same situation. Bravo to the team that saved them and may the man who lost his life trying to bring them to safety rest in peace like the hero he is.
They're gonna hate the doctors so much lol. But joking aside, if they decide the kids need to stay in the hospital longer then that's the best for them.
They can always go to the next one, now that they're free :)
They where in their for 17 days starving and lacking oxygen they'll probably need weeks to readjust.That's 5 days away, they couldn't recover enough in 5 days for an aeroplane flight? Damn that SUCKS big time, and would have been a perfect ending to the hollywood movie that's being planned.

Once he starts staying out of my daily life, I'll stop pointing up his assholery.
I like how some people are more worried about them going to the world cup than recovering and being with their families.... like wtf lol
Well..it's the World Cup man. Why not both!!!
But seriously, a wonderful end to a desperate situation.
It just occurred to me that the kids and coach may still not know that someone died during the rescue. You wouldn't want to freak the kids out before getting them to dive. Man is a hero. Rest in peace.
To be fair, they are footballers and they were super excited for the World Cup, and it only happens once every four years and they are way too poor to ever dream of traveling to another country to watch the finals. Some of them don't even have passports I think.
Not only it was the kids going there, not the coach, no, you don't need a knowledgeable guide to go there either way. It's a tourist spot that is usually safe at the time of the year they went on, they were just unlucky that the flood arrived early.
Yup this guys and everyone envolved are true heroes!!!!
I can't get over how badass this photo is lol.
He didn't do anything. I don't know why anyone is thanking him or why 1/5 of the BBC news front page is about him but that's probably too off topic considering the mod warning.
Even if the coach had been irresponsible enough to lead them in there (he hadn't based on certain news articles), he still kept them alive and in good spirits for 17 days (probably gave them their supplies too, explaining why he was the weakest). A good leader is needed in time of adversity.
Also, the cave is pretty well known, and mother nature is often unpredictable. They wouldn't have headed in there if they knew it would be flooded.
