It appears the children and teacher have been found alive.
Has a miracle happened ?
I am so delighted and hope they will be ok after their horrific ordeal.
It's always nice to see good news as lately all the headlines are of something bad having happened.
Please forgive me if there is already a thread on this topic.

Great explanation Wellthisisshit,and doesn't the propanol ( sp sorry ) wipe the memory a bit ?

You're hardly a coward - forgotten about in an MRI scanner !!!!!!!!!

DaffoDeffo · 10/07/2018 12:37

An absolute triumph of human endeavour. Made me a bit weepy when they announced it!

QuackPorridgeBacon · 10/07/2018 12:39

WellThisIsShit How did they leave you there alone? That sounds terrifying.

Pupsiecola · 10/07/2018 12:51

More articles and Tweets to say they're all out. Please let them be healthy and well.

peridito · 10/07/2018 12:53

And that they remain so .

Wishfulmakeupping · 10/07/2018 13:05

Fantastic news thank goodness all out safely

pombal · 10/07/2018 13:07

Looks like 3 divers and medic still in cave.
I hope they are coming out today as well.

ValMc1 · 10/07/2018 13:15

Amazing news, hopefully all the rescuers will be out soon too. All too often we hear of terrible things people do, this has restored my faith. I have felt so fearful for the boys and their families. What can be said about those that rescued them - truly brave and selfless. Their families too must have been terrified. So sad for the one diver who lost his life, he was truly a hero to lay down his life for others.

peridito · 10/07/2018 13:16

I hadn't thought about that pombal ,just assumed they would .

But it could be that all the tanks have to be replaced first .

peridito · 10/07/2018 13:18

From Guardian site

A new update from Thai navy Seals says we are still waiting for the divers and the doctor to emerge from the cave. “Send encouragement to them,” its Facebook page urges.

hackmum · 10/07/2018 13:18

This is amazing news.

I wonder what impact this will have on the rest of their lives - whether their achievement in getting out of the caves under such difficult circumstances will imbue them with a sense of self-belief that will carry them forward and on to great things. I do hope so!

WellThisIsShit · 10/07/2018 13:21

Mixed messages from different news sites, Australia news is still saying coach is yet to come out though he’s left the cave where they were stuck...

peridito · 10/07/2018 13:22

Such co operation ,goodwill ,humanity ,offers of help .

And so close to Mynamar where so much atrocity took place with the Rohingya Muslims.

QuinquiremeOfNineveh · 10/07/2018 13:25

BBC is saying all boys and coach are out, they're just waiting for the rescue team to follow. Report from Thai Navy, so presumed to be accurate.

CoolCarrie · 10/07/2018 13:25

It’s the best news this year! Thank goodness for brave people who did this. How proud and relieved they must be.

BrokenWing · 10/07/2018 13:43

Such a relief they have been safely rescued and you have to admire everyone involved.

RIP Saman Gunan who sadly lost his life due to this misadventure. I truly hope his family's devastating loss is not insensitively forgotten for celebrations.

Pupsiecola · 10/07/2018 13:44

Have had a right proper sob in the arms of DH. Just the best news.

Pupsiecola · 10/07/2018 13:47

I bet Hollywood will be making a film of this.

Pupsiecola · 10/07/2018 13:53

They've been invited to Old Trafford by Manchester United :-)

PestymcPestFace · 10/07/2018 14:20

Thai navy seals say 4 “frogs” , 3 seals and the doctor stay in the cave tonight. They were the ones that stayed with the boys since the British divers discovered them.

eloisesparkle · 10/07/2018 14:24

Oh my !
I dared to hope.
I hope all those heroes get out safely too.
Unimaginable.
May the Thai SEAL who lost his life rest in peace - thinking of his loved ones at this awful time.
I hope those British heroes will be honoured in the Queen's honours list instead of the usual luvvies and political aides.

Did people see this illustration from the Thai Navy Seals fb Page?

The translation is what the animals all represent -

13 White boars,
White Seals - Navy Seals
Lion - Brits.
Kangaroo - Aussies

Etc etc. Brought a little tear to my eye.

Sorry if it's been shared before.

Trampire · 10/07/2018 14:33

Sorry, pic didn't attach. I'll try again.

Yes! They’re finally all out!!!!!!

Thank God.

Thinking of the boys, the coach and the one expert who lost his life in trying to save theirs. And thinking of the team staying one more night before they can come out.

It was so much better than anyone could have ever dreamed. At one point, we thought they would never have even been found ...
