Friday afternoon, The Guardian reports that the search for places in the mountains where we can go down to the boys in the cave, until now, has not leads.
Sky News announced on Friday that a Danish cave diver who is helping the rescue team believes that the boys' evacuation could start today or tomorrow.
At the same time, the chief engineer on the spot told the Guardian that he believed that rescuers can manage to get down to where the boys are sitting.
The authorities have already said that it would be too risky to drill. On June 23, the twelve boys and their football coach entered the Tham Luang cave in Thailand's northern Chiang Rai province. An important rescue mission was launched soon after their disappearance.
* Signs at the entrance warn against entering the rainy season because the cave can be flooded quickly with heavy rain.
reported that the team came in because one of them had a birthday and had to write his name on the cave wall as part of a ritual d & # 39; Local initiation for young boys
* The boys were found alive on July 2nd. Then they were weak and included, but otherwise in good order. They had survived by drinking water from the roof of the cave.
* The work of making them live is very demanding. In addition to Thai military personnel, more than 1,000 rescuers from a number of countries are participating in the rescue operation. Up to now, a Thai naval fighter has lost his life
The oxygen level drops
On Friday morning, NRK reported heavy rains in the area. The rain has stopped quickly, but new monsoon rains are expected this weekend. There is therefore a risk that the water level will rise in the cavern, making rescue work much more difficult.
Several media also report that the level of oxygen in the cave has dropped from 21% – as it is normal – to 15%.
Declining levels of oxygen in caves can quickly become critical for boys, "says safety officer Marcus Langberg Smestad in the Norwegian Cave Dealer.
– Normally, the level of oxygen in the air is about 21% .If it goes very far below and you fall to 15%, it is as if you are going far up. If there is less and less oxygen in the air, there is a risk of damage to tissues that have a high oxygen demand.This can not last long, he says. at NTB
Oxygen Party
Friday night, Saman Kunan, 38, volunteer rescuer, died.
"It is sad to announce that a former volunteer from the navy participated in the rescue died around two in the evening, "said Governor Passakorn Boonyaluck at a press conference on Friday.
Kunan has placed Oils of oxygen inside the cave, in order to get the boys out, when he ran out of oxygen, illuminates the governor.
Navy spokeswoman Yookongkaew Apakorn recounts that and another naval fighter tried to help her.
– We are trained to wait for risks all the time. That's part of the job, he says, adding that "the work will be finished even if we lost a man".
Wondering how the Navy boys intend to get the boys out the same way as the top rated diver, Apakorn responded that they would be more careful with them.
The accident is an obvious relapse into the enormous effort that has taken place. Two weeks ago, the football team disappeared on June 23rd.
Water Pumping Attempts
Rescuers continue to try to pump enough water to let out the boys, but the water level of the cave does not drop that's just over 1 centimeter per hour.
Rescuers have prepared 13 sets of dive gear and designed to give boys dive training while looking for alternative solutions to get them out of the cave. Flying vests are also sent to the cave. Many divers do not know how to swim.
Divers with long experience spend just over three hours going back to where the boys and their coaches are, "said Gary Mitchell of the British Cave Rescue Council in Aftenposten.
Rescuers have limited time to get the boys out of the cave in Thailand, according to a naval officer.
– At first we thought that children could stay there a long time, But things have changed and we have limited time, says Yookongkaew Apakorn
