Relating to the cave in Thailand, where the rescue is ongoing.
The cave is up in the mountains above the rice fields, but not near the top
of the mountain surface
( at least not at the entrance )
Somewhere above the level of water in the cave in Thailand must be a water
source such as a spring o

The web-article below has a detailed chronological account of the ongoing

Feel free to go, and let us know how it was. Instead we will be holding a
toast to our late friend Pete Strickland at the Posse East.

One Thai news channel showed this video to explain to their viewers

I am learning big fancy words from watching these videos. I never heard
the word "brilliant," used in the way the British divers used it.
Brilliant has
never been a word in my vocabulary.
The many news reports about the cave rescue have much conflicting
information and inconsistencies. Here are some of the latest:
To keep water levels as low as possible, teams of soldiers and other
rescuers have been pumping water out and building weirs across creeks to
divert water away from

Yes. Many thanks for the effort. The whole story is fascinating. Lots of

What has made Bockbeer an expert of Thailand and cave rescue? His comments
are inane. Maybe he needs to get in the Sequoia and head for Thailand to
give an on the secne report instead of his rambling. He sounds like Sean
Hannity. OK that is it, no more picking on Bockbeer.

Dear all,
I also hope that this ongoing potential tragedy that we hope becomes a joyous
rescue can be used as a teaching moment. The 25 year old coach is to be
commended for taking his kids on field trips but his obvious lack of
understanding of how caves work in monsoon season is responsible f
Great photo, Carl...and yes, my heart is still beating!

Having been a caver in the Guads for 49 years, I can say that there have not
been a lot of issues of flooding of our caves to the point where they might
cause some serious problems. That does not mean that the caves won’t flood,
just that the number that are likely to are pretty limited. Vanis
It’s probably all going downstream, meaning their rescuers had to swim right
through it. Talk about a shitty job….

Just wanted to say “thank you”, Lee, for keeping us all up to date on this
rescue effort. You’ve made it considerably easier to find the latest, most
important details about the rescue. It certainly is far from being over with,
but at least there is support for the teens and those who risked t
GREAT NEWS!!! It could still be a long time before they can actually get all
the victims out of the cave if the waters remain as high as they are.
Nonetheless, they must be extremely relieved.
