Thai cave boys


Think they jumped the gun with the 6 story.

Still a long way to run on this sadly. Not quite a third of the way through and conditions are worsening. You could see on the TV interview that the rain was pelting down. But I'm sure they will go as fast as they can.

Does sound like they have taken the weakest first though so hopefully the later ones might be a bit quicker or more able to deal with things if the conditions make it a bit tougher.

I was following the BBC timeline earlier. At first it was said that two boys were out and in the field hospital being checked over before being taken to hospital.

Some time later, a Thai official said that four boys were being walked out from Chamber 3, so the assumption then was that six boys had been brought out, and the BBC changed their headline to six boys rescued.

The Thai official must have been briefed before the first two boys were brought out and so he talked about four boys being walked out, even though two were already announced as safe.
 
if that's the way they went in then I'm sorry but the flash foods aren't the issue here. There's absolutely no way 13 young lads + their adult supervisor would have been able to clamber through that gap 1 by 1 to escape enough water to block the exit that filled the cave behind them.
Are you implying it's staged?
