The rescue operation to release the last of 12 boys and their football coach from a Thai cave could have been a disaster, with water pumps draining the area just hours after the # 39, evacuation of the last boy. The rescuers were still more than 1.5 km inside the cave to clean the equipment when the main pump failed, which resulted in a rapid increase in water levels, said three Australian divers involved in the operation on Wednesday. Three ", a base inside the cave, said that they heard screams and saw a stream of torches coming from inside the cave as the workers were scrambling for to reach the dry ground a large part of the past week to keep alert with the boys trapped, was out of the cave soon after.
The men of the Wild Boar football team were highlighted during three bold rescue operations beginning Sunday morning. An elite team of 19 divers was involved in transporting the boys and their 25-year-old coach on the way about 2 miles from the muddy slope where they had taken refuge in the outside world

The trip from room three to the entrance to the cave took about four to five hours, but was reduced to less than an hour after a week of emptying and cleaning the mud path with the help of shovels
The scuba tanks were each attached to an adult diver, had to submerge for most of the trip but were carried on bright red Sked stretchers whenever they penetrated into plots of dry land. Each one came out of the cave on these stretchers, always wearing their breathing masks.
Much of last week was devoted to clearing the 1.5 km path between room three and the entrance.
Australian divers, carrying 46 kg of diving equipment, were part of teams carrying radios, air bottles and other equipment in the third chamber. They could not go further because their equipment was too big: going beyond room three had to go through a hole less than one meter wide. rather than on their backs.
Australians compared parts of the trip to a shift in the S-turn of the toilet. They said that there were three main catch basins of about 10 to 20 meters long.
The divers were under water for 10 meters at a time and then walked a few hundred meters before diving again.
