Lee,
I also wanted to say that your feeds are the latest and most up to date on the
situation. Thank you for sharing them.
The NSS has had a number of calls from the media regarding this issue. I've
directed calls first to Anmar Mirza who is the National Coordinator for the
National Cave Rescue Commission. I've handled any overflow that Anmar couldn't
get to. Anmar has been pulled in numerous directions from the media and has
done an excellent job.
Couple of points.
The media coverage has actually been pretty good considering
most media doesn't have an idea what a cave is or about cave rescues. As the
event has gone on, the reports become more factual. Having worked a similar
incident at P-11 Cave in Kentucky in 1984, I can tell you the quality of
reporting is much better (See the July 1984 NSS News for a number of reports on
accidents and the P-11 incident).
The Thai government has poured the resources of the country
behind the search and rescue efforts and have brought in specialists from
around the world. They appear to have done an outstanding job under very
difficult conditions and are investigating all of their options. The British
cave divers are some of the best in the world and are used to diving in really
bad conditions.
A positive outcome of the event is not certain as there are a lot of issues
that can go wrong and the situation and their response is evolving quickly.

Subject: Re: [SWR CAVERS] The rescue attempt is far from over in the Thai cave
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 their own
lives in trying to find them under extremely dangerous circumstances. I've had
my own share of rescues and injuries already and they all pale in comparison to
the difficulty of this one.
