Lost boys in Thailand found alive

The boy's team disappeared into a cave nine days ago

Now the twelve boys and their coaches were found – alive in the cave.

Now the boy's team is still safe

– Our operation is not over yet. The governor of the region, Narongsak Osottanakorn, announced Monday that the Thai football team had disappeared for nine days in the cave of Tham Luang Nan No, whose openings had been blocked by a monsoon rain

. Now they have been found alive, reports the BBC.

The task is confirmed by local governor Narongsak Osottanakorn:

– We found them and they are safe.

The boys should have been found by a special group of sailors, according to the BBC

in the extensive research effort after 12 boys and their 25-year-old coach. In addition to Thai rescuers and diving associations, experts from China, Australia, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom have been called, writes CNN.

According to the Thai Navy, Swedish divers will have participated in the effort. now the boys are still in the cave.

– Our operation is not over yet. We are going to pump all the water from the cave and then we will take the thirteen people out of there. We are now planning to send nurses and doctors to the cave to investigate their health. We will work all night, according to Governor Narongsak Osottanakorn, according to CNN

If the operation to pump all the water out of the cave remains to bring the boys to the water – which can be a challenge

– The worst case scenario is that they forced them to be evicted. Then they will be completely surrounded by water and will wear a diving mask or some kind of diving helmet to make the situation less stressful for them. But it will be a very scary experience, says security expert Pat Moret at CNN

To achieve such an operation, boys and their coaches must first feed themselves.

– They need food and can be fed. They will need heat. They may have been stuck for days now, so their driving abilities are not what they should be. So, I would say that they're not ready for a move up to about 12 hours, says Pat Moret.

Earlier on Monday, local authorities agreed that they had a good hope of finding boys.

A group of divers in a SEAL federation had taken 500 meters towards an underground beach – you hope the team took to avoid the huge rain mills that have fallen into the cave since its disappearance.

– Yesterday, the SEAL band of our fleet reached a T-junction and during the day they will continue to push to the left, but the hurdle encountered is a said the governor of the Chiang Rai region, Narongsak Osatanakorn, according to Reuters.

Apart from the tourist attraction, visited several times before, friends and families disappeared boys between 11 and 11 years old. 16 years looked and hoped for a happy ending.
