I Was Trapped In A Cave For 18 Days With Water Rising

In 2018, the world held their breath, waiting to see if a team of young soccer players and their coach would make it out of a flooding cave, after 18 days, alive. In today's educational cartoon we look back at the intense events of the Thai Cave rescue mission.

[@amyamy8873]

I’m from Thailand. You cannot imagine how big this was, it really was a rescue epic. All Thai media reported live from the scene, each story update on twitter got retweets in the thousands , donations, volunteers of every kind even interpreting volunteers when the foreign teams started arriving on scene. No one could remember a search (then later rescue) operation of this scale. People clung to any update on the story, you get emotionally invested. If you were in the country then, you’d know that the situation was very bleak, but we still prayed All in all, it was a beautiful story. Thai people have their differences but everyone united in national collaboration which turned global and a story of survival against all odds.
