Can anyone speak to the extreme measures being taken by the Thai medical team to keep the boys in quarantine? Is that really necessary? Are they afraid the boys might have contracted something in the cave or are they afraid that their immune systems might be weakened and they are protecting

A large team of sherpas is hauling 4 enormous submersible pumps to the sumps. Using a 3" diameter bamboo "ph*ckstick" to carry the load. This is most likely "Plan B" in case passages flood again. D.L. ___ Texascavers mailing list |

The Space-X Speleo-Submarine is supposed to arrive at the cave tonight. The main advantage is the remaining 4 kids would not have to wear anything, and could even be heavily sedated. Hopefully they will get to use it or at least test it. The only problem might be in the choke-point. Hopefully

Hey folks, I find this thread very interesting. However, I fear that if the wrong individuals in BLM see it and read it as a known danger in Snowy River, then they may shut down any further exploration beyond the identified points. They did it with Priority 7. I would suggest that the

The Thai rescue was partly successful because they brought in hundreds of pumps and kept pumping continuously for days. This lowered the water level enough to allow walking in the cave water rather than diving for a significant portion of the route. We can’t pump Snowy River. But perhaps we

A large crew of workers installed a 4 inch pipeline from somewhere near the cave and snaked it about a half-mile down the mountain. If the inlet is near the sumps than that could be beneficial. It was pouring dirty water today from what seemed like natural gravity, meaning not a pumped-flow. I
