发帖数: 4796 | 2 Thailand cave rescue: Boys found alive after nine days
All 12 boys and their football coach have been found alive after nine days
missing in caves in Thailand, in a drama that gripped the nation.
They were discovered by two British divers on a ledge in a cavern after a
marathon search operation in the Tham Luang caves in Chiang Rai.
The challenge now will be to extract the party safely, with rising water and
mud impeding access.
Families of the missing group were ecstatic at news of the rescue.
Rescuers had hoped they would find safety on a ledge in an underground
chamber nicknamed Pattaya Beach but they were found 400m (440 yards) away
having moved to higher ground to avoid the rising water.
The two British rescuers, believed to be Rick Stanton and John Volanthen,
were flown into Thailand early last week.
In video posted on Facebook by Thai Navy SEAL special forces, one of them
can be heard speaking in English to the group, as they sit on a ledge above
water in a cavern, picked out by torchlight.
"How many of you?" the rescuer asks.
"Thirteen!" comes the reply.
"Thirteen? Brilliant!"
The group appear to ask when they will be taken to safety and one of the
unseen rescuers replies: "Not today. There's two of us. We have to
dive. We are coming. OK? Many people are coming. We are the first."
One of the boys is heard to say: "Eat, eat, eat, tell them we are hungry
."
When the group, whose voices are indistinct, ask what day it is, the divers
pause, then one replies, "Monday, Monday. You have been here... 10 days.
You are very strong."
The divers explain that they have to leave but will be back.
"Thank you so much," says one of the huddled group. "Where you
come from?"
"England. The UK."
"Oh. See you tomorrow."
The group's plight has gripped the country and led to an outpouring of
support.
The boys aged 11 to 16 and their coach went to explore the caves on 23 June.
Drones, dogs, drilling and desperation
Thais show their love for lost cave boys
What to do to survive underground
An uplifting breakthrough
By Jonathan Head, BBC News, Tham Luang
There are scenes of jubilation here at the cave entrance - drowned out by
the generators powering the water pumps and filling the air tanks for the
dozens of divers whose persistence in the toughest of underground conditions
has paid off.
Now the authorities must figure out how to extract them. The first priority
is to get them medical treatment and food where they are, to rebuild their
strength.
The whole country has watched every stage of this operation, holding its
breath for what seemed an increasingly unlikely happy ending.
They are not out yet but this is an uplifting breakthrough after the Thai
government threw everything it could to try to save these boys' lives.
Who are the group in the cave?
The 12 boys are members of the Moo Pa - or Wild Boar - football team.
Their 25-year-old assistant coach, Ekkapol Janthawong, is known to have
occasionally taken them out on day trips - including a trip to the same cave
two years ago.
The youngest member, Chanin "Titan" Wibrunrungrueang, is 11 - he
started playing football aged seven.
Duangpet "Dom" Promtep, 13, is the team captain and said to be the
motivator of the group.
The club's head coach Nopparat Kantawong who did not join the group on
their excursion, says he believes the boys, who dream of becoming
professional football players in the future, will stick together.
"I believe they won't abandon each other," he told media outlets
. "They will take care of each other."
"They are all safe but the mission is not completed," Chiang Rai
governor Narongsak Osottanakorn told a press conference at the command
centre at the cave entrance.
"Our mission is to search, rescue and return. So far we just found them.
Next mission is to bring them out from the cave and send them home."
The governor said they would continue to drain water out of the cave while
sending doctors and nurses to dive into the cave to check the health of the
boys and their coach.
"If the doctors say their physical condition is strong enough to be
moved, they will take them out from the cave," he said.
"We will look after them until they can return to school."
Relatives who had gathered near the caves hugged when they heard about the
rescue. "I'm so glad... I want to him to be physically and mentally
fit," Tinnakorn Boonpiem, whose 12-year-old son Mongkol is among the 13,
told AFP news agency.
"I'm so happy I can't put it into words," another relative
of one of one of the group told reporters as tears of joy streamed down his
cheeks.
More than 1,000 people have been involved in the operation, including teams
from China, Myanmar, Laos, Australia and the US, as well as Britain.
