As I type this, the time is 15.24 BST, and I am watching the cave rescue in Thailand.
At the moment, four boys have been rescued and have been taken to hospital.
There will be a pause before the next rescue is attempted.
What a wonderful cinema film this would make.

Have just looked at the BBC news on line and they have all now been rescued including their coach and are in the hospital for check ups. Some doctors and divers are still in the caves at present. What a lovely outcome. Ken Finch. [Smile]

(Everyone should had learned the latest progress by now,but for the sake of completeness... [Wink]

)

ALL of them are now rescued. The whole team+their coach are now safe&sound at the hospital. Some have slight health issue,but nothing serious. Also all of the rescue team are safely out of the cave.
Despite one professional diver lost his life during the mission,but that's purely accidental. The whole operation could be considered a great SUCCESS. [Smile]
