Rescuers close in on boys' soccer team trapped in cave

Emergency teams from around the world are trying to reach an above-water-level cavern where rescuers hope the 12 players and their coach have sought refuge.

Thank you very much for all thoughtful rescue teams from all over the world for helping the 13 football players who were trapped in the Thamluang , Chiang Rai Province, Thailand . Now they are happy with their families . This is the lesson how to help some one who is trapped in the cave . May God bless you all. From people in Thailand.

Contrary to what most uninformed people here believe these kids and coach were experienced. They have been inside that cave several time and it's really rare that we see rain like that in june in Chiang Rai. It was near the end of dry season (dry = almost zero rain for 6 months straight). Wet season started early this year, it's rare, they were very unlucky.

[@SA-wp3iq]

Hilariously wrong. I live in Northern Myanmar less than 100 miles from Chiang Rai and I can tell you that June is not considered part of the dry season. Most people in the area understand that the beginning of June can be somewhat dry but you can expect nonstop raining in the second half of the month.

Would it be possible to extend long flexible tubes to where the boys are and have them climb inside the tube and crawl while being pulled from the other side. Water that gets inside can be pumped out.

[@lizs1572]

The boys are safe now. They have been saved .

[@ihazmunchies5203]

Elizabeth Singleton proof please

[@TechnologyKingsdom]

IHazMunchies Go to Google and type in “Soccer team found alive after 9 days trapped in cave”

[@vapeking466]

Its all over the news

[@miaadd_]

Are you joking right now ??? They are NOT safe... They have been discovered but the water will rise up and they could drown... I DONT call this SAFE !!! They can't get them out.... It could take 4 months .... So ... Plus they don't know how to swim, they are weak anf they were in a cave pitch dark until some divers bought a torch for them ... Please let them survive !!!! I don't believe in God and I don't know how to pray but if you believe in God and you know how to pray, then please pray for them to get out alive !!! The only thing I can do is hope for the best and cross my fingers

[@GISCOM]

Please try to stop rain with the help of colud seeding.

[@willzimmermann6615]

How are they missing when it's known they have gotten lost in a cave......

[@elliotterodriguez]

How did they get down in there?

[@vapeking466]

Elliotte Rodriguez I think they went in there seeking shelter during a flood.

[@lafongtome88]

It’s raining after they get in and then the cave flood so they cant get out.

[@miaadd_]

They got in there because they had won a game ( they are soccer players ) and it's like traditional in their country to write their names on a special rock that is in that cave... That's why they went in there...

[@gamergurl142tm5]

VapeKing WRONG the coach brought them there

[@get-the-lead-out.4593]

Let this be a warning to all future soccer players.... never play the sport in unapproved soccer fields

[@miaadd_]

Get-The-Lead-Out.45 are you an idiot? I would explain but I have better things to do !! No offense

[@get-the-lead-out.4593]

Mia:O, said "are you an idiot? I would explain but I have better things to do !!" You don't have to explain... you have to actually start doing those better things in order to learn how to stop being such a dumb ass thus you can gain the reasoning for obviously knowing when someone's not being serious

[@100moban]

In the name of jeasus ...commanding stop the rain..and save them out safely....

[@knowledgeforyou2024]

13 Strong . Thang God

[@harambejr.4711]

Lmao I wonder if the coach lost his job. 😂

[@0uaebaby0]

Harambe Jr. For sure. Even if it was not his mistake

[@artemizssno2980]

not very funny?

[@harambejr.4711]

Frigid Foxx It is really, coach failed to be a responsible guide.

[@artemizssno2980]

and thats funny? the fact that he might kill a whole soccer team of boys? must be dark humor

[@dane.4216]

Frigid Foxx Dude shut up. Lmao he’s a bad coach. DEAL WITH IT.

[@terridd6265]

Word to the wise, do not go cave diving exploring if you don't have the map of caves clearly in your mind and as a novice. As a former teacher I would never take a group of kids into such a situation. What was in his mind doing this with inexperienced kids? I pray that they are alive and will be found soon. God bless the searchers, families those kids. 😔😔🙁🙁

[@MaxSujyReact]

The kids and coach were experimented, not their first time in that particular cave either. It usually start raining heavily in july, this year it started earlier. Experience is actually what help them find the best spot day after day.

[@lafongtome88]

At first, the cave did not flood. It flood after heavy rain. so they can’t get out.

[@miaadd_]

Sorry I just copied and pasted what I said in a reply in a other comment ... The comment said that they were safe and that everything was ok... And its not

[@sergiodelburquevelasquez5666]

I don’t understand why it’s taken them a week to do this.

[@konthaijaidee3035]

Sergio Velasquez It's rising flood water.

[@chaiananp]

dumbbbbb

[@Username-or9nr]

6 mile cave I think

[@folk20310]

Sergio Velasquez because flood, tiny walk way, dark as fuck, and they have to dive in with a completely dark water where nobody can see or know which direction it go, not to mention that it a heavy rain during they search which result in more flood and make them have to get out from the cave many times.

[@mrjoincovota1272]

Sergio Velasquez you dont know this cave e dok

[@rahmaasima2826]

[@NightRyder-ph1sx]

I'm so confused how the got so deep in the cave. Did these children go in to cave to play football lol

[@orapinbuahorm8325]

Thoughts and Prayers! In God We Trust! Trump 2020! Red Wave Mid Term 2018! Thailand need to repent and confess their sin and accept Christ as their Lord and savior! For God so love the world He gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
