I teared up because stuff like this shows you how incredible people can be. And also do not go into caves, especially during monsoon season. I remember hearing and seeing news about this but had no idea just how complex and difficult the rescue operation was.

In 2018, a cave rescue in Thailand captured the world’s attention. Twelve boys from a local soccer team, along with their coach, were trapped deep within the Tham Luang cave complex by rising floodwaters. An international team of experts, including experienced divers, military personnel, and volunteers, came together for a daring and complex rescue mission.

The operation faced numerous challenges, from narrow, flooded passages to the boys’ deteriorating health. After more than two weeks, the rescuers successfully brought all thirteen members of the group to safety. The mission was a remarkable testament to human courage, ingenuity, and the power of global cooperation.

A former Thai navy diver has died while taking part in efforts to rescue 12 boys and their football coach trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand.

Petty Officer Saman Gunan lost consciousness on his way out of the Tham Luang cave complex, where he had been delivering air tanks.

The boys have been trapped for nearly two weeks in a chamber in the cave.

They ventured in while the cave was dry but were caught out by a sudden deluge of rain, which flooded the system.

The group was found by British rescue divers after 10 days in the cave, perched on a rock shelf in a small chamber about 4km (2.5 miles) from the cave mouth.

Teams of Thai and international divers have since supplied them with food, oxygen and medical attention, but there are mounting concerns about the oxygen level in the chamber, which officials said had fallen to 15%. The usual level is 21%.

On the surface, a huge military and civilian rescue operation is racing against the clock to bring the boys to safety. Heavy monsoon rains are expected on Sunday, threatening further flooding.

Officials had initially considered leaving the boys in the chamber to wait out the rainy season - which could have seen them trapped there for up to four months.

But Thailand's Navy Seal commander suggested on Thursday that the divers may now have little choice but to attempt a daring emergency rescue - fraught with danger for the boys, who are aged 11 to 16 and some of whom cannot swim.

"At first, we thought the children could stay for a long time... but now things have changed, we have a limited time,"  Rear Admiral Apakorn Yookongkaew said.

A death in the cave

The death of Saman - a highly trained diver - on Thursday underscored the danger of moving from the chamber to mouth of the cave, and raised serious doubts about the safety of bringing the boys out through the cramped, flooded passageways.

The diver died after losing consciousness in one of the passageways, said Passakorn Boonyaluck, deputy governor of the Chiang Rai region, where the cave is situated.

"His job was to deliver oxygen. He did not have enough on his way back," Mr Passakorn said.

He said that Saman's dive partner tried to revive him but could not, and his body was brought out of the cave.

Saman, who was reportedly 38, had left the navy but returned to aid in the rescue operation. Said to be an avid runner and cyclist, he was part of the massive rescue operation launched after the group became stranded in the Tham Luang cave.

Officials said his funeral would be sponsored by the Thai king.

The search operation would go on, said Rear Adm Arpakorn. "I can guarantee that we will not panic, we will not stop our mission, we will not let the sacrifice of our friend go to waste," he said.

About 1,000 people are involved in the rescue operation, including navy divers, military personnel and civilian volunteers.

A lack of oxygen

Authorities say there are concerns about falling oxygen levels in the chamber where the boys and their coach are trapped.

Oxygen was being depleted by the large number of people working inside the cave network, said the Chiang Rai Governor, Narongsak Osotthanakorn.

Authorities are now working to get a 5km (3 mile) cable into the cave to supply the group with air. They are also trying to feed a fibre optic cable through to the group, to connect them to their families for the first time in nearly two weeks.

This man is a true hero. May he rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Rescue of Thai soccer team trapped in cave complicated by heavy rains

Bicycles and backpacks belonging to a Thai soccer team sat outside the entrance of a vast cave complex where the teens remained trapped inside Thursday.

A U.S. military team and British cave experts joined the Thai navy seals to help search for the 12 boys and their soccer coach who entered the Tham Luang Nang Non cave on Saturday.

Relatives of the boys have stayed in tents outside the cave entrance around the clock, despite the rain, waiting for updates. A Buddhist monk led a prayer for them Thursday morning.

Authorities remain hopeful that the team found safety in dry places on higher ground within the cave to wait.

"We won't give up. That's the key here," said deputy national police chief Wirachai Songmetta.

A kid-sized submarine arrived in northern Thailand, just a few hours before the final four members of a youth soccer team and their coach were rescuedfrom the flooded Tham Luang cave complex. Elon Musk, whose minions had built the sub out of SpaceX rocket materials for the sole purpose of moving the trapped boys to safety, delivered the mini sub himself and announced his presence in a tweet to his 22 million followers. Meanwhile, the rescue chief said that the kid-sized submarine was “not practical” for the boys, as thousands heaped praise onto Musk for doing—well—it’s unclear if the bombastic billionaire really did anything helpful. Which makes you wonder: is Elon Musk serious with this shit?

The short answer to that question is no. Musk has a long track record of promising to solve huge problems and then either missing deadlines or falling short. Along the way, he’s also built up a cult of personality that leads fans to compare him to comic book superheroes. So even if Musk isn’t really serious about his ridiculous, buzz-building projects, plenty of people still think he is. We need to stop that.

To be clear, neither the Thai government nor the rescue effort asked Musk to build them a sub, that we know of. 

as the boys were actually being brought out of the cave by the rescue team, Musk tweeted some more videos of testing.Around the same time, Musk said in a tweet that the mini-sub would arrive in Thailand “in about 17 hours.” It was already clear that it might be operational on the ground after all the boys and their coach had been rescued. But Musk went anyways and bragged about it on social media

These divers had a pretty chill life in Thailand. Then came the cave rescue mission.

By Shibani Mahtani and Timothy McLaughlin, Washington Post, July 17, 2018

CHIANG RAI, Thailand--Longtime dive school partners Mikko Paasi and Ivan Karadzic were on different continents when they got the calls for help.

Paasi, 43, rushed to this northern Thai city from Malta on July 2, his eighth wedding anniversary, to meet up with Karadzic, who had cut short a vacation cave-diving near the Thai province of Krabi, and one of their close friends, Erik Brown, a Canadian diver.

The Thai government, the divers said, had told them it needed their expertise and specialized equipment for an audacious mission: to locate and ultimately, it was hoped, extricate 12 young boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave by diving them out.

Part of a small, tightknit group of technical divers used to a laid-back life on the resort island of Koh Tao, the three eventually became a crucial part of the effort to shepherd the boys through the cave’s narrow, mud-clogged passages, as the world waited and watched. U.S. military officials described them as among the world’s top cave divers, whose niche passion helped pull off an undertaking many thought would end in multiple deaths.

“If you can use the skill set to help in any way you can, you have to,” said Brown, 36. “Lots of people would have done it--we just happened to be really close.”

Koh Tao, the trio’s base in the Gulf of Thailand, has lured divers since the late 1980s with its clear aquamarine waters, sunny weather and easy access to dive spots. Jim Donaldson, a partner and manager at Big Blue Diving, a Koh Tao dive school, estimates that there were just six dive shops on the eight-square-mile island in 2000, a year after he arrived, compared to about 65 now.

“It just really absolutely exploded,” he said.

Koh Tao’s status as a dive capital has followed Thailand’s transformation into a global tourism hub. Last year, more than 35 million people visited the Southeast Asian country, according to the national tourism authority, accounting for some 12 percent of its gross domestic product.

Karadzic, 44, was just another tourist when he visited Koh Tao in 2006 on a recreational-diving holiday from his home in Denmark. The trip, he said, was life-changing.

“I was sucked back into diving,” he said in an interview from Koh Tao, where he’d returned last week after the last group of boys was freed from the cave and recovering along with the others in a hospital.

He quit his job in Denmark, sold his apartment and moved to Koh Tao to become a dive instructor. He started teaching others to dive in 2007 and now runs a technical diving school with Paasi. Brown runs his own professional cave-diving school on the island.

As news spread of the boys’ disappearance on June 23, Paasi and his friends put out a call to action on their Facebook pages. They first asked for specialized gear that could help Thai navy divers navigate the Tham Luang cave complex outside Mae Sai, in northern Thailand, where the boys were stranded.

Dive shops on Koh Tao readily obliged.

“Everyone came together,” Donaldson said. “We all put equipment through, and they were desperate. They obviously needed a lot of equipment up there.” Brown and another diver involved in the rescue effort, Ben Reymenants, originally from Belgium, had worked previously at Big Blue Diving, he said.

Soon, though, it was clear that the Thai Navy SEALs, trained for open-water diving, did not have the skills to properly search the flooded cave chambers for the boys. The call changed from one for equipment to one for able divers, Karadzic said. The divers started making plans to travel to Mae Sai and urged others in their network to join them.

“Thamluang urgently needs STRONG diving volunteers!!!!” the Finnish-born Paasi wrote in a Facebook post a day before he left Malta, attaching a hand-drawn, cross-sectional map of the cave.

Describing the job, he wrote: “You must be able to: know how to breathe through a regulator and pull yourself using the guide rope against cold (~ 20C) and strong current, in low visibility without panicking.”

Karadzic and Brown arrived in Chiang Rai together on the morning of July 2. Hours later, two British cave divers found the boys, emaciated and huddled on a slippery outcrop above the water. The search mission was instantly transformed into a rescue mission. Karadzic, Brown and Paasi worked with a team of 15 others, including British divers and Thai Navy SEALs, whom officials described as “all-stars.”

During the three days it took to pull the boys and their coach from the cave, Paasi was stationed deep inside, helping move the sedated boys swaddled in flexible stretchers from one dive spot to the next.

“Special people, special skills and special equipment got together,” Paasi said.

The core group of 18 divers ferried the boys to a larger team of international rescuers, who then hooked the boys one by one into a complex belay system and transported them through the cave’s dry chambers, across fields of rocks and boulders.

Since divers spoke mainly in English, interpreters were needed to ensure that 54-year-old Tan Xiaolong, a Chinese diver stationed with U.S. Air Force rescuers receiving the boys as they emerged from the water, would understand all the commands.

“The Thai side also sent interpreters who could translate Chinese into Thai,” Tan said.

But there was one command that needed no translation. Tan was the diver tasked with holding a static guide rope leading out of the cave so he could feel the tug signaling when a diver was bringing a boy out of the water and preparing to pass him to the next stage.

“It was clear and strong, with a distinct rhythm,” he said of the first time he felt it. “At this moment, I knew the first child had been successfully rescued, and I felt very moved.”

Back on Koh Tao, the Facebook pages of the divers and dive shops were flooded with praise and encouragement in Thai and English as each boy emerged safely.

“Watching it here in Koh Tao, watching it sort of live as it unfolded, and knowing that these boys were involved helping get these kids out--it was cool,” Donaldson said. “It was very cool.”

Risky Dive Mission to Rescue Boys Trapped in Cave Begins

Rescue employees are seen at the Tham Luang cave location on July 8, 2018; today, scuba divers got in the cave complex on a risky mission to extract the group, one by one.

. About18 scuba divers got in the cave in Chiang Rai, Thailand, Sunday early morning (July 8), where 12 boys and their soccer coach have actually been trapped for 2 weeks, according to report.

. Though numerous had actually stated they thought about a diving rescue a last hope, as the boys have no diving experience and some were malnourished and experiencing fatigue from their time in the cave, rain started falling in the location onSaturday Officials were worried that monsoon rains, which were anticipated for today, would make such a rescue basically difficult.

. “If we don’t start now, we might lose the chance,”Chiang Rai actingGov Narongsak Osatanakorn stated, according to report. As water levels increase in the cave, the range the boys would have to dive boosts. [The Very Real Risks of Rescuing the Boys Trapped in a Thai Cave]

. The boys and their coach treked into the Tham Luang cave complex when it was reasonably dry, just to be walled in after monsoon rains set off a flash flood.

. This previous week, water levels have actually been decreasing in the cave, as the rain has actually held back and authorities have actually continued to pump water from the cave system.

. “The shorter the dive distance, the increased margin of safety,”George Veni, executive director of the National Cave and Karst Research Institute and president of the International Union of Speleology, informed LiveScience “Also, air bells may develop along the way to create a series of two or more shorter dives instead of one long dive,” Veni stated, including that “lower water levels means the force of the water is less.” [Photos: Rescuers Race Against Time to Save Soccer Team Trapped in Thai Cave]

. One of the huge worry about cave diving is the strongly running water that can make a brief dive risky for even a professional, stated Edd Sorenson, a local planner in Florida for the not-for-profit International Underwater Cave Rescue andRecovery (Sorenson is likewise the security officer for the National Speleological Society-CaveDiving Section.)

. TheThai Navy SEALS were teaching the trapped soccer group the fundamentals of cave diving, however as just recently as Friday,Gov Osatanakorn stated the kids were not sufficiently trained to make the risky dive out.

. The group is supposedly holed up in a chamber about 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) into the cave, with skilled scuba divers taking about 11 hours up and back throughout shipment objectives over the previous week.

. “Diving in caves is very risky; it’s very unforgiving. If something goes wrong, you can’t go up for air,”Veni informed Live Science earlier in the week. “In case of an emergency, you may have to swim underwater for 10 minutes and do some underwater gymnastics to get through a narrow space and get up to air.”

. Veni included, “You’re in total darkness; essentially, you’re swimming through mud.”

. Each of the boys will be paired with 2 skilled scuba divers, and it will take a minimum of 11 hours for the very first individual to be drawn out.

. This is a continuous story, and Live Science will continue to upgrade this post as news comes in on the rescue mission.

Rising Water: The Story of the Thai Cave Rescue by Marc Aronson

The incredible true story of the twelve boys trapped with their coach in a flooded cave in Thailand and their inspiring rescue. On June 23, 2018, twelve members of the Wild Boars soccer team and their coach were exploring the Tham Luang cave complex in northern Thailand when disaster struck. A rainy season downpour flooded the tunnels, trapping them as they took shelter on a shelf of the dark cave. Eight days of searching yielded no signs of life, but on July 2 they were discovered by two British divers. The boys and their coach were eventually rescued in an international operation that took three days. What could have been a terrible tragedy became an amazing story of survival. Award-winning author Marc Aronson brings us the backstory behind how this astounding rescue took place. Rising Water highlights the creative thinking and technology that made a successful mission possible by examining the physical, environmental, and psychological factors surrounding the rescue. From the brave Thai Navy SEAL who lost his life while placing oxygen tanks along the passageways of the cave, to the British divers that ultimately swam the boys to safety, to the bravery of the boys and their coach, this is the breathtaking rescue that captivated the entire world.

Tesla, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk Headed to Trial Over 'Pedo Guy' Tweet

https://sciencespies.com/news/tesla-spacex-ceo-elon-musk-headed-to-trial-over-pedo-guy-tweet/

Tesla, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk Headed to Trial Over 'Pedo Guy' Tweet

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musks request to dismiss a defamation lawsuit filed by British caver Vernon Unsworth over a “pedo guy” tweet, was denied by a Los Angeles judge.

US District Judge Stephen Wilson in Los Angeles has ruled that a jury will have to decide whether those tweets count as recklessly negligent, Los Angeles Times reported on Monday.

Last year, twelve boys and their football coach were rescued from the Tham Luang cave complex after a week-long intense drama.

Musk offered to assist the rescue mission by providing a submarine but the request was turned down on the ground that it would be unworkable. He later lashed out saying that he would make a video proving that his “mini-sub” would have been successful.

Unsworth took on Musk in a widely-shared interview, saying the “mini-sub” “just had absolutely no chance of working”.

In response, Musk tweeted several things, now-deleted, “Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.”

Then, a month later, he called Unsworth a “child rapist” in an email.

Unsworth sued two months later in a Los Angeles federal court, saying Mr Musk falsely branded him a paedophile and child rapist.
