All the boys in Thailand and their coach are out of the cave and safe. Good job to all the rescuers
18 days wow what a story.

I had wondered about these guys. I couldn't find anywhere who was staying.

"...Thai officials confirmed around 9:40 p.m. that the four-member military team that had stayed with the boys in their cavern for days — a doctor and three Navy SEAL members — have all left the cave together. With that, the rescue operation is officially complete...."

I'd like to add my admiration for the rescue divers, especially the British divers who found the boys and former Thai Navy SEAL Saman Kunan who died in assisting the rescue. Cave diving is incredibly dangerous and it was an 11 hour round trip to the point where the boys were and add that this is the rainy season, it was a heroic effort by all.

Also to the coach of the boys, he showed leadership qualities that are beyond what anyone could ever expect from a 25 year old soccer coach.

Of course a Democrat had to politicize the plight of the Thai soccer team.
There are no lows the Dems won’t go to.

They are mentally ill. Mass hysteria mentally ill. Isn't Durbin the POS that started the whole "shitehole" lie?

Heroic. Definitely gonna be a movie.

Any mentions on how rescuers got food and water to them?

I didn't read the article, but in similar situations they put MREs or similar into watertight containers and swim them in

The taxpayers send them EBT cards every month.

oh wait, you mean the thai boys? They connected a zip line and divers made round trips with sealed bags.

Very likely, but I won’t be going to see it.

I did a LOT of dumb schit as a youngster, scares me to death and makes me shudder to recall it even today...

These rescuers and the coach are true hero’s, the kids about as lucky and to be commended for keeping their cool and being brave themselves.


Oh, and f#%^ that POS Durden. Has no shame.

Thanks!

A medic and Thai navy SEALs who had stayed deep inside the mountain since the 13 missing males were found on July 2 also needed to navigate the narrow, water-logged passages in the cave complex. All successfully returned to the surface Tuesday.

“We have finished successfully something that nobody thought could be done,” Chiang Rai Gov. Narongsak Osottanakorn told a news conference after the operation was completed.

The boys vanished on June 23 with their 25-year-old coach after seasonal rains flooded the caverns and narrow passages, blocking their exit from the popular tourist destination. Nine days later, two expert cave divers found the trapped group.

When someone said that there's no more people like Harry Reid they forgot that they stashed the mold and made another in DirtBin. Lie, lie, lie, if it promotes their agenda.

One question: Are those Thai Seals like our Navy Seals or are they just divers aka frogmen?

Did they find the trapped raccoon as well?

I heard on the radio earlier that there was studio personnel already on site.

Yes, they are special operations personnel.

They even train with our SEALs

Edit, the last 4 out that stayed with the boys the whole time

The hero that gave his life trying to save those kids. He should be remembered and not forgotten.
