The video below has several different topics that seem well presented https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv30_Ycj4mI
The next one features some drone footage of the command area where 1,000 plus people are setting up. Note there are several mini-van ambulances https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipqjyg8POd8 I have noticed majority of the people dressed like the plan to go in the cave are using "twink-lights," meaning the headlamps are not suitable for wet-caving nor caving in borehole passage, and certainly not both. One news report showed them giving the boys PowerGel with caffeine. That doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Not a single news channel on Earth ( that I have found ) has mentioned that the boys most likely only had a small bowl of rice the morning before going into the cave, and they were likely thirsty from playing soccer. Meaning, they were likely malnourished long before entering the cave. Has anybody noticed that Capt. Jessica Tait, talks like an advanced-humanoid robot model from Star Trek ? She seems to say a pre-recorded message over and over and over again. Watch her hand-gestures and shoulder movement. Just like Data from Next Generation. After hearing that same propaganda speech, I wonder what our real mission is there ? The Thai people seem to like her though, and I don't have an issue with the mission, as long is it is not wasting Federal tax-dollars. There does seem to be a time-gap and language gap getting the news quickly. I am surprised I have not yet seen any kind of bucket-brigade. Plenty of people, but no buckets ? Maybe they could put the boys in a deep-sleep, and put them in a tight bag, and drag the bag out. I bet nobody considered that one. I have not seen any mention of bats or snakes or other troglophiles. One option, I bet they that have not considered is to announce that they only plan to remove 4 kids from the cave and leave the rest. That would certainly create a lot of interested in the rescue.
