The rescue of boys trapped next to their football coach in a cave in Thailand is very dangerous. They have to dive more than four kilometers through narrow pbadages, cross slopes and take long walks between water currents and rocks. In fact, last Friday, one of the divers who tried to help them died.
The current rescue plan includes 18 experienced divers who will accompany each of the children with two. However, multimillionaire businessman Elon Musk has proposed an alternative. Space contractor and manufacturer of electric cars, Musk announced on Twitter his intention to participate in rescue tasks and suggested inserting into the cave a nylon tube that would allow children and rescuers to travel in the water without the need to dive.
The plan includes filling it with air, "like an inflatable castle", to create an underwater tunnel. "Maybe it's worth trying: inserting a one meter diameter nylon tube through the cave system and inflating it with air," he suggested. . "This should create an underwater air tunnel against the ceiling of the cave that is suitable for strange shapes like those of the 70 cm hole," he says.
A Thai engineer working for the American magnate collaborates with rescue teams. He devotes himself to monitoring the outside of Tham Luang cave, hoping to find a hollow in the rock where to dig to get to where the boys and their trainer are. . The Thai engineer will be joined by three foreign colleagues working for Tesla, Space X and Boring Company, three of Musk's leading companies.
The chief of the rescue operation said that this technology can also be useful to locate the exact place where they are trapped, which is supposed to be 800 to 1,000 meters below the forest that covers the mountain.
