At 4 pm Swedish time, the first boys are finally estimated to come out of the Tham Luang caves in Thailand. Then the young football team stayed two weeks in the darkness of darkness for two weeks, caught by the monsoon while a whole world was suffering with them and was following the efforts of the rescue team [19659002] Immerse yourself in the cave system where Thai boys are stuck. 19659004] Royal Thai Navy / AP / TT
– Today is D Day. The boys are ready to take on any challenge, said the Narongsak Osottanakorn Rescue Chief
A group of divers entered In the morning local time, and It can be concluded that the statements of the leader of the rescue group indicate that it takes about eleven hours to help the first.
The rescue should last from three to four days. The rescue team – made up of 13 foreign divers, five Thai divers and five special military relations people – prepared and practiced for days of service.
Meanwhile, relatives, journalists and other interested parties gathered at the entrance of the abbey. a crowd of over 1000 people. In the morning, the police dismissed all those who were not directly involved in the rescue, and the press instead climbed up a muddy hill near reporting it.
The twelve boys aged 11-16 and their 25-year-old coach entered the cave system on June 23, despite the warning signs. And it's stuck. Monsun Rain came, and the narrow corridors were quickly flooded. When the diver finally found the group, it was closed for nine days. But all were alive.
A two – kilometer airline could possibly be driven into their hole so as not to allow oxygen to escape and, at the same time, was intensely pumped out of the water.
Saturday recalled the dangers of the weather. This only lasted for half an hour, but new and more sustained rain is expected for later today and the coming days. Then the water can go up to less than ten square meters, said the rescue officer late last night:
– We will never be more prepared than today.
Diver Jonas Westerberg tells TT that rescuers in Thailand are "as safe as possible."
– If they did not believe it, they would not have started with this operation to get the boys out.
Westerberg is an experienced diver and runs a European project on underwater rescue in overcrowded environments. He has been in telephone contact with the group in Thailand.
– Those who are here are really great. If I had to come up with something, that's what I would like to help, he says.
The boys now saved from the cave must not be able to dive, and do not even swim.
– They will be led According to the diver Jonas Westerberg
they will have diving suits, a mask for all the face and a helmet not to damage the walls of the caves.
In their cave, they were trained to be under water. breathe out of the diver's tubes.
Families have at least a sign of life from the confined. Diver came out with messages written in the dark with pencils on a square, a small stained paper, where the youngsters were again greeting mother and daddy and half jokingly asking them to come with the favorite food [19659004HissondisappearedwhenhedidnotreturnfromfootballtrainingonJune23rdAndfinallyyoufoundbikesandshoesontheoutsideofthecavewhichwasahugerescueeffort
It was difficult from the start to decide how to get them out. Three methods were discussed:
Helping them with diving equipment – difficult because some of them never even swam, but have less tested diving. And the water is muddy and opaque "like coffee with milk", according to the professional dives in place.
Drilling a well from the top – difficult because there are no positioning methods and the well should be up to one kilometer deep. Hundreds of holes have been tried these days without being correct.
Waiting for the walkers to dry up again after the monsoon – this would mean waiting for October, providing the group with food, drinking water and perhaps health care. Fix: In a previous version, the wrong time was specified when the fastest group had to come out of the cave.
On June 23, a mother declares her son missing because he did not return to football training. The boy's bicycles and shoes with comrades and their coaches are outside the main entrance of Tham Luang Cave. A sign on the outside of the cave warns visitors to enter during the rainy season because some parts are often filled with water.
The cave system is almost a mile away in the mountains. Initially, rescuers hoped to find the boys in an elevated part of the cave called "Pattaya Beach". But when the diver arrived on the scene, this part was flooded too. The boys were found 200 meters further up the mountain, about two kilometers from the main entrance. In addition, they are close to a mile underground.
