A British diver who helped save a junior football team from a cave in Thailand has himself been rescued from a flooded tunnel in the US after more than a day underground.

Josh Bratchley failed to return to the surface with the rest of a party after they emerged from a cave in Jackson County, Tennessee, at around 3pm on Tuesday.

After several attempts to find him themselves, his fellow divers alerted emergency services at around 1am local time (7am BST) on Wednesday morning.

Expert divers were flown in from Arkansas and Florida and a rescue dive began at around 6pm on Wednesday evening. Authorities said he was successfully rescued around an hour later.

"He was awake, alert and oriented," rescue official Derek Woolbright told a press conference. "His only request when he got to the surface was that he wanted some pizza."

Sounds like a cool guy.

Shows how dangerous it is to explore caves.

Ironic. He could save others from the cave but not himself.

Is it possible to learn this power?

Remind me not to explore caves, no matter how cool it might seem.

Likely there's only so much you can do completely on your own in these situations, he was well aware of the risks, and kept his cool while waiting for the others to help.

Legit would rather risk going to space than exploring a cave.

Just in case it's not clear, this isn't the same one that got into a spat with Elon 'well balanced' Musk, it's just a nice clickbait headline.

I don't even want to put you on ignore, I think it's best you just ask for a perma-ban.

Canadian bacon, pineapple, crushed red pepper. That's the good shit post-scuba dive. Carbs, sugar, fat, protein, sodium.

I even read that in Palpatine's voice as soon as I read Ironic. Then it hit me where the quote came from. Weird how that works.

t-minus 10 minutes until elon's up on some Q shit, talking about how the cave is hiding a secret pedophile cabal

This is why the only exploring I do is with my own butthole, thank you very much.

VectorPrime · Apr 18, 2019

Send the Thai boys to rescue him. It'll be poetic.

Powdered Egg · Apr 18, 2019

What a hypocrite! /s

Glad he got rescued. Shit seems fun but dangerous.

Why do people do this shit? You're not gonna find a lost city or a dragon or some shit. You Wade around some wet rocks and either almost die or completely die.

No, no, Rassilon got it right. Musk is the Emperor in this exchange, so he'd say that you can't learn it from a diver.
