Mae Sai (dpa) – After 17 days in a dark cave, the twelve players of a Thai football team and their coach are all saved. This was announced by the Thai Navy on Tuesday.
The last four trapped children were released by divers specializing in a high-risk mission for hours. Then the 25-year-old caregiver also came out.
The happy end of the cave drama is a miracle for many. Even the experts had hardly thought that the football club team "wild boars" from his refuge four kilometers deep can be safely brought to the outside. The return to the light took several hours each. Large parts of the cave have been flooded. None of the children had diving experience. The boys were therefore caught by the professionals in towing.
The last of a total of three highly dangerous missions had started Tuesday at 10:08 local time (05:08 CEST). Before, it had rained a lot all night.
The first two dives, Sunday and Monday, had already saved eight boys, each in teams of four. They do comparatively well. But you should stay in the hospital at least a week longer.
More than two weeks ago, the young football team was trapped in a cave in Thailand . Important events in the case:
June 23: Twelve boys and their caregivers enter Tham Luang-Khun Nam Nang cave after a training session. A sudden torrent cuts the way back.
. July 2: Rescue divers discover the missing group. She had retreated several kilometers into the cave in front of the rising water. A video shows children in the light of flashlights.
. July 5: A former Thai Navy diver is killed in a rescue operation in the cave due to lack of oxygen.
8. July: An international team of special divers brings to light the first four boys. You have to cross extremely narrow pbadages, sharp-edged rocks and flooded pbadages. The survivors are taken to a hospital in the provincial capital of Chiang Rai.
. July 9: Four more boys are released.
July 10: All boys and coach are free.
