in 1989 or 1990, before it merged with the:

will not be in time to rescue any of them as they need to spend another 6.9 days testing it in the same cave before risking its use. proven method now is to escort each kid with mask, tank, and 2 rescuers per kid plus 1 as spare. more than 6.9 kids rescued so far.

not thai navy seal lah. more bs, halfshit and fake news from you. more than a dozen of the world's best and top angmo cave divers are doing the heavy lifting. thai navy seals are there to provide support: lay plumbing to pump water, extra tanks at dry spots, lines for guiding, etc. it takes 2 spelunkers/cave divers (not just divers) plus 1 spare to bring 1 kid out.

When it comes to coming up with real solutions and doing the actual hard yards nothing can beat the Ang Mohs for their skill, intelligence and perseverance. That is why I have vehemently maintained that Ang Mohs are the best and will continue to hold this view until proven otherwise.

korrect. 13 of the world's best cave rescuers (all angmo's) are foreigners while 5 thai navy seal divers are there to help with translation, instruction (for the kids and soccer coach) and provide support for the 13 foreign rescuers. the heavy lifting is done by the 13 angmo rescuers, best of the best, cream of the crop, and the dream team of cave divers. thais must contribute some token local divers, otherwise very malu. but they are there for support, not the actual hand-to-hand escort role.
How they got out
For the first four rescues, two divers accompanied each boy, one from the side and one from behind. They made their way back to the entrance of the cave guided by a 3 mile rope. In total, 13 foreign cave divers and five Thai Navy SEAL divers participated in Sunday's rescue, according to Reuters.

6.9 of the top 13 cave divers/rescuers are british. angmo truly dua kee, especially the opium-selling kind. 
Meet the seven British divers playing leading roles in the Thai cave rescue mission
It is the most challenging underground rescue in history, and Thai authorities have drafted in more than 90 of the world's finest special forces soldiers. But the spearhead of the Thai cave rescue operation has depended on seven British civilians who learnt their craft exploring the chilly waters of abandoned mines and limestone caves of England and Wales.
Vernon Unsworth
First on the scene was Vernon Unsworth, who is from St Albans but now lives in Thailand. Mr Unsworth, an experienced diver who now lives close to the caves, was crucial in persuading Thai authorities to bring in UK expertise. "When Thai Navy Seals went into the cave but they could not see anything because the water is so muddy so they came back, Chaiyon Srisamut, a friend of Mr Unsworth, told the Daily Mail.

"He knew some English guys who could definitely help."
John Volanthen and Rick Stanton
With the go-ahead from Thai authorities, Mr Unsworth contacted John Volanthen, an IT consultant based in Bristol, and Rick Stanton, a former midlands fire fighter. The pair have been described as the "A Team" by Bill Whitehouse, vice chairman of the British Cave Rescue Council.

Mr Stanton, 56, Mr Volanthen, 47, discovered the boys and their coach trapped in an air pocket 2.5 miles into the cave system last week. Mr Whitehous told Radio 4's Today programme last week: "They have been at the spearhead of making their way through because they have the skills and expertise to do it. "One of the first things they had to do in pushing through is lay a guideline so that they could get out again and so others could follow along."

Voices heard on a video of the moment the group was discovered in the cave belong to Mr Stanton and Mr Volanthen. The pair have established a reputation as being among the greatest cave rescue divers on the planet - but both have day jobs in the UK. Mr Stanton has been a firefighter in Coventry for quarter of a century, while Mr Volanthen is an IT consultant based in Bristol. Both are volunteers with the South and Mid Wales Cave Rescue Team.
In 2011, the pair set a world record for the longest cave dive, penetrating 9km (5.5 miles) down a system in northern Spain using specially developed equipment.

The UK divers operation to locate the lost boys was overseen by Mr Harper, 70, a veteran potholing expert from Somerset. He was given a hero’s send-off by the Thai authorities as he left Thailand on Thursday. Weerasak Kowsurat, the sports minister, thanked him for his “dedication to duty and professionalism,” before he left.
Chris Jewell and Jason Mallison
The British team have now been joined by two more divers: Chris Jewell and Jason Mallison of the Cave Diving Group, Britain's oldest amateur association of subterranean divers. Both are considered experts in the tight-knit community of cave divers. Mr Mallison previously rescued six British cavers from Mexico's Cueva de Alpazat cave system. In 2010, he joined up with Mr Stanton and Mr Volanthen to break the record for the longest ever cave dive. The trio, along with Dutch explorer Rene Houben, spent 50 hours underground charting 5.5 miles of previously unexplored submerged caves in Mexico.
Tim Acton
Also on the scene is Tim Acton, 39, who grew up in Harwich and first learnt his trade diving off the Essex coast. He moved to Southeast Asia 12 years ago and now runs a holiday complex in Thailand with his wife, Took. In 2004 he was caught up in the Boxing Day Tsunami and earned a commendation from the British Ambassador for his efforts to save lives when the village where he was running a diving school was swamped. He was invited to join the cave rescue by contacts in the Thai Navy SEALs.
He has been inside the cave system several times during the operation. His father, John, 71, said: “There’s a total media blackout at the moment so we are getting no information.

“All I know is Tim got a call to go on stand by to go to the caves by the Thai Naval Seals and he had to send the measurements of his shoulders because they didn’t know if his shoulders were too big to go in there. “Then he got the call to go to (Chiang Rai) they picked him up to go to the airport, apparently they are in excellent accommodation. “He was told there were 55 naval seals in Team One and in Team Two, which he was to be part of, was the supply team with 20 ex-Naval Seals and two Westerners - Tim and his mate who is a Spaniard. “Up until Saturday besides the two English divers who found them they were the only two Western divers, since them I’m led to believe an Australian cave diving team has gone in there. “I’m very proud of the fact of his selflessness. He’s doing nothing different to what our armed forces, police and firemen do every day, by putting his life at risk to help someone else. “I spoke to him just before he left ... he said he was feeling a bit nervous which I was pleased about. “If he didn’t have any nerves I’d be a bit worried.”

All u cunts better apologize to Grace! It is possible for a MINI SUB to be used. lol
Elon Musk says in Thailand with mini-sub
Entrepreneur Elon Musk offered a mini-sub as a potential savior for the Thai boys still trapped in a flooded cave
American space entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted that he was in Thailand on Tuesday with a prototype mini-sub, at the flooded cave where five members of a youth football team remained trapped.
"Just returned from Cave 3," Musk said.
"Mini-sub is ready if needed. It is made of rocket parts & named Wild Boar after kids' soccer team. Leaving here in case it may be useful in the future."
On Instagram, he published video of a flooded cave, with rescuers.
Cave Three is about two kilometers (1.2 miles) from the entrance of the cave network and is the base for Thai rescuers.
The footballers still awaiting rescue are about two kilometers further in, at a point very difficult to access.
There is no indication so far that Thai rescuers plan to use Musk's prototype.
By Monday night, elite divers had managed to bring out eight members of the football team which included 12 boys and their 25-year-old coach.
The Thai rescue effort has been assisted by experts from around the world, and the death of a former Thai Navy SEAL diver who ran out of oxygen in the cave on Friday underscored the dangers of the mission.
After garnering headlines with initial ideas of installing a giant air tube inside the cave complex and using his firm's penetrating radar to dig holes to reach the boys, Musk offered his idea for the mini-sub.
He called it "basically a tiny, kid-size submarine using the liquid oxygen transfer tube of (a) Falcon rocket as hull."
Musk said it was light enough to be carried by two divers, robust, and small enough to get through narrow gaps.
The person inside need not swim or know how to use oxygen bottles.
He posted video of divers escorting the pod during testing in a Los Angeles swimming pool.
Last week, Musk said he was sending teams to Thailand from his private space exploration firm, SpaceX, and engineering firm, Boring Co. which is developing tunneling systems for transport projects.
While offering the mini-submarine as a potential savior, Musk used the opportunity to promote space exploration. He is also co-founder of the Tesla electric car company.
The Thai soccer team ventured into the Tham Luang cave complex after practice and became trapped by rising waters more than a fortnight ago.
