TOPIC:

By the way it looks as though there has been a doctor and three Thai Navy Seals who volunteered to stay with the team from the start for the duration of their ordeal.

Reported that the last 4 boys and their coach on the way. 9th boy reported as brought out of the cave.

Update: 10th boy reported to have been rescued.

11th boy reported rescued.

To put the importance of this to the Thai people:

6:07pm Wow! Nation TV has just interrupted the daily propaganda program produced by the military junta to show live shots of the helicopter taking off with latest boy to be rescued. Other Thai channels still showing the propaganda news

Sky News reporting that all have been rescued. I have seen another source reporting this as yet.

One hopes that this is the case. And thoughts are with Sergeant Major Saman Gunan who died trying to help rescue the team.

Multiple sources reporting all 12 players and their coach have been rescued.

Confirmed on Thai Navy Seals facebook

Just need the three Thai Navy Seals and the doctor who stayed with the team to come out out of the cave.

Apparently the Seals and Doctor still have not exited.
Returned home after a busy day not long ago and was watching the lovely lady on The World news show on abc 24 which I normally do not watch.
Fantastic outcome achieved. Great to hear some good news for once.
Perhaps all Thailand's underground caverns / tunnels could maybe be closed in monsoon season?

Totally agree that it is great to have some good news though tempered with the loss of the former Thai Navy Seal.

I haven't heard any news about the doctor and the navy seals yet: will post if I see anything.

With respect to closing the caves the Thai PM hinted that maybe something will need to be done to close the caves during the monsoon season.

Liam Cochrane the ABC Correspondent has just said that there is no news yet about the doctor and the navy seals as yet. Suggested that there should be some news soon about them.
