You've got to give the coach a lot of credit for keeping the boys together and calm in such dire straits, such an uplifting historical moment.

[@Thisisneha_]

Completely agree. He was incredible. And I really hope people didn't give him a hard time. As they said, it's normal for locals to explore the cave and the rainy season started earlier than usual. It wasn't anyone's fault.

I know hardly anyone will notice this comment but my close friend's Uncle was one of the British divers. Jason Mallinson is his name. He came to my scout group and gave us a talk about everything, it was brilliant. 👍👍

I just came across this story, yesterday night and I am wowed and really thankful for everyone who contributed to help them out and also happy they all survived

That's very cool :)

[@wickedwitchoftheeast88]

Oh we believe me we were so proud of a our divers for their bravery and courage along with everyone else who played a part in rescuing these lads people like that restore my faith in humanity

[@pinkchaos.]

What made me happy was the support the coach had from the parents and everyone, rather than blaming him. He helped save the kids lives, and the kids would’ve probably gone to the cave without the coach anyway, thank god they were all saved ❤️

[@taydi8022]

The rescuers deserve so much more they did a great job helping without wanting anything back just saving these precious souls. A big clap to them

[@wickedwitchoftheeast88]

And they risked their own lives to do that they deserve every award they got.

[@RONJAE212003]

I thank god we are seeing them in an interview and never witnessed 13 funerals. I am sooooo happy to see their smiles and little faces. Thank god.

[@freespirit7483]

[@ashwini1240]

Its so sweet when the boys went to hug the divers

[@invisibleman1459]

Heroes don't play football or sports or idolised by idiots, heroes are everyday people who risk there own life to save others

These rescue guys are real hero . Heads off you guys. Love you

[@uplander8692]

their translator here was amazing too.

[@mbkbenz]

She really is, if you can understand Thai, the way she talked to the kids was just like the way she talked to her sons. She seems very kind and warm.

[@0p41]

Respect for them reliving that memory, can't imagine how terrifying it would be to be stuck there for days. They all seemed so calm too.

[@kevinlucas1975]

They couldn’t get chairs for all the family?

[@user-sp4ij8ps3k]

exactly. To allow them to sit on the floor.

[@Thisisneha_]

I just watched the documentary on Netflix and I have to commend the coach for being incredibly calm and composed for these children. You can clearly see what a top guy he is. And the rescue workers - just wow. What a special moment at the end of this interview. Incredible bravery displayed by both rescuers and the rescued.

[@stardust0075]

My only reactions when I see these kids is "WTF" it's a miracle that they are alive.

[@ryanomahony2060]

I REMEMBER IT SO WELL HERE IN IRELAND MY MOM & I PRAYED AND PRAYED SO MUCH FOR THEM . EVERY MORNING WE CHECKED TO SEE HOW MANY LITTLE BOYS WERE OUT OF CAVE !! SO DELIGHTED TO SEE THEM NOW IN FEB . 2024 I THINK SOME PIPE THAT WAS USED CAME FROM A TOWN NEAR US ?? AND A BIG BIG THANKS TO RESCURERCS ( WRONG SPELLING ) HOPE THEY HAVE A WONDERFUL TRIP AROUND THE WORLD ! & THANKS TO U - TUBE FOR POSTING THISCAGAIN FROM IRELAND

[@TheCourtsofChaos]

the moment the kids saw the light from the divers in the water must of been like seeing the light of the maker or something you know it put the life back into them at that moment.

[@TheSkyriders]

Why did the interviewer ask "how do you convince the boys that have never dived before to do this for the first time" when we know that they were sedated? Even Jason didn't address the issue that the boys were not conscious so they didn't have to deal with fear ~ also the last boy taken out, they asked "how did you feel when you knew you had a different mask?". He didn't know because he was unconscious when it was put on according to the video in the Disney Plus Documentary (which is excellent by the way, about 90 minutes long mostly from the perspective of the British Cave Divers that hauled the boys out sedated. Anyway, weird. . .but so impressed with what they did! AND so sorry to hear the one of the boys, Dom recently died at age 17 in February due to "head trauma", found in his dorm and they still haven't released an official cause of death. . .sad 😢

[@kaylamattes750]

I think I heard that the sedation aspect wasn't made public until way later.

[@E-Kat]

No one would have predicted that after being saved in such a dramatic way, one of them, Dom, would die so soon after. He was admitted to a Football Academy and was found unconscious in his bed. It has been decided that he took his life, as there was no evidence of a third party. I can't believe this is the end of the investigation. He was extremely happy and was doing really well. Just before he was found unresponsive, he said to his friend that he should get his autograph as he's going to be a famous footballer. He had plans for the future, huge plans. This completely doesn't make sense. Rest in peace dear Dom❤

[@gamesgames3318]

Probably the school trying to cover up the incident, so they cut the investigation short

[@m.h.6499]

Yes, I think many people believe not all of the story has been told. It’s heartbreaking. 😞 Hoping his family knows that people around the world care about them. RIP Dom. 💙 We will not forget.

They complied with the rescue mission. They were sedated as well. They were victims of inadequate instructor. The heroes were the rescue divers. 👍

This story is such a good one since all but one survived. And u feel so much for them, sad to say but the world dident have the same feelings about the sub.

​@@hmj3547The Captain of the team who got a sport scholarship to UK. He found unconscious in his room and he died later. His actual cause of death still remains mystery but it was deemed as suicide.

@thomasov2004 That's true. he passed away

[@m.h.6499]

The coroner ruled it self harm but I think many people feel there is more to the story that is not being told. Maybe some things are covered up. It is devastating news. Condolences to Dom’s family and teammates and friends. 😔 Dom was very brave. He will never be forgotten. I hope Dom’s family knows that people all over the world care about them. Rest in freedom and peace, Dom. 🕊💙 You live in our hearts now. From 🇺🇸

[@TEEHuetinck]

Why were the parents sitting on the floor? Especially one dad wearing a nice suit for the occasion.

[@jiniu4083]

In some cultures, sitting on the floor is just normal. My guess they said don't worry about it, we'll just sit here.

[@raja03able]

Why are they made to sit on the floor?

[@Fjbxkb8]

These things cause the hero to die.

[@we_areone]

The British divers took all the credit, when there were others who laid the lines for them to reach the children through the pitch dark muddy water. They succeeded because of a bunch of other divers who took the risk to lay the lines when they gave up. Watch the documentary -13 lost. Credit should have been given to the ones who laid the foundation for this rescue mission not just the British divers & the docs. I'm just saddened by how human nature can be so deceptive🙁

[@be_hopefulalways]

Both should get the credit. In my view the coach should get equal credit as well. Kids look upto him but who is he looking upto at that time. The reason British divers got the credit because they are not expert in this but volunteered for the work even though it's not their men and their place. See a guest who helps is given more importance and agree other gave their best but the one who makes the plan always gets the credit because at that time making brain work is really hard.

[@user-sp4ij8ps3k]

This show has no budget for seats/couch/sofa/chairs for guests. They just allow them to sit on the floor.

[@boldsoul]

Bro I question is couldn't they manage a chairs for the parent what a disrespectful show 🤬
