I don't think food shortage is a problem any more, there have been so many travels back and forth. That was referring to the period before they were found.

Bloody hell! 
That picture!
Everyone involved in this rescue is a bona fide
I think it was more the food they had during the original 9 days before they were found. I'd imagine he has been eating the food they've been sending in since

There's 18 divers in total, and 3 per passenger. So 6 kids out sounds about right, given that it was said that the round trip trip per driver is 11 hours. The time and effort would be even more when ferrying a completely inexperienced diver.
Great news, hope they can all make it out.
Ah fair enough.Bloody hell!

They'll be using the best elite divers for this operation and you only have a limited number of divers who are the best in this field.
Guardian speculating that the kids may have been sedated before the trip out.
Also, a press conference is due in a few minutes.

Yes, there were more on the spot but apparently only the best of the best are being used. I'm thinking the death of the rescuer the other day may have something to do with it.
Not sure if true, but this would be amazing!
Definite "yeah nah" from me as well.
I'm guessing not. The toughest sections are being done by teams using some of the most experienced cave rescue divers in the world, the doctor is a cave-diving specialist as well as a medical one. From the sounds of it, they're working in pairs and they need the whole crew to operate like a formation dance team. They've been through the briefings/rehearsals together - they all know the cave.
In effect they can't risk their health, or the kids safety, by being tired and they can't just switch in new teams. If water levels suddenly rise or there's some kind of crisis inside the cave, I guess they've a plan B. But it sounds like plan A is to stick with the same small crew.
That would be extraordinary good news if it's accurate. That would mean that all the most specialised work in the wholly submerged sections has been done.
Them being sedated makes sense, the Australian doctor is an anesthesiologist, and that was perhaps the reason why the British specifically asked for his cooperation.
I've read that a standard oxygen bottle can last as long as 4 hours or as little as 20 minutes depending on levels of exertion and anxiety. Imagining a kid panicking, the divers with him getting nervous due to it, could be a recipe for disaster. In fact I couldn't even imagining the kids being calm throughout this no matter how hard they prepared them.

nah that's gotta be wrong, officials have confirmed the rescue op paused and will continue tomorrow
Yup, seems like it.
They're saying the rescue team need about ten hours to prepare for the next round. Presumably to eat and sleep as well.
Think he means 6, not 4.
Edit: it is apparently only 4.
Yeah, seems it will take a bit longer than what it seemed for a while. Probably need to replenish the staging areas with oxygen bottles, etc.
I'm reading that even with the reduced water levels, the underwater part of the journey was 1km
Wait, is it 6 or 4?
4 makes sense because that would imply they are following the 4, 3, 3, 3 split they planned on.

Yes, it's confirmed to be 4. The first 2 came out within 10 minutes of each other. The 3rd came out about 2 hours later and the 4th after another 10 minutes. Seems like a well rehearsed and time kept operation
The press conference said 4 had arrived at hospital. There may be 2 or 3 others (depending on which unconfirmed report you look at) in the cave, at the rescue base, but not yet ready to move out. But that was only ever an unconfirmed report.
I'm a novice. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly killed him? When one gets stuck, are you just left there on your own?
Depends on how narrow it is is it not? if it's relatively easy to manoeuvre then the divers can drag the kids along without much risk of them panicking.I'm reading that even with the reduced water levels, the underwater part of the journey was 1km
Good going so far but not over yet. Hope the weather doesn't take a worse turn and complicates the operation.
Wait so are they going do do just one group a day? What happens if conditions worsen? Feck am back to being nervous now.
Here's an example of one such situation. Of course cause of dead may vary, but you can see that even if you're not on your own you may be in an impossible to save situation.
Keep the pumps running. Keep looking for alternate ways in. Keep looking did alternate solutions. And pray
This is back in the sixties. I can't recollect the exact details. My dad wasn't with him at the time. I think he got stuck in a climbing section and could neither go forward or back and by the time they returned to him with rescue gear he'd died from a lack of oxygen.
Does the tide matter at all when it comes to caves? Was wondering about that. Or is it too secluded for the water to be influenced by this?
Makes sense as a limiting factor. Got to reset all the oxygen supplies on route.

Interesting read about the coach. Poor guy must be agonizing himself over what has happened and will probably be the most scarred when they get out. Hope he too gets the right medical attention and also leniency from the authorities.

It 100% won't matter. Tides are actually caused by *pressure* from huge bodies of water being affected by the sun and moon. I.e a glass of water won't be affected in the same way
wasnt it 6 rescued earlier
wasnt it 6 rescued earlier
Yeah, Reuter's was reporting it as six. Unfortunately not. Still a damn good start though.
Man I had hoped they were moving the groups one after the other in one go. But, they have called this perfectly so we should just trust their judgement and hope the conditions remain favourable.
Myths busted:wasnt it 6 rescued earlier
- 6 rescued (actually 4)
- Weakest rescued first (Healthiest actually taken out first)
- Rest of the boys around chamber 3 (all actually still at their original underground location)
- One of the boys rescued being described as Code Red (governor says their health is "perfect")
That guy got entombed there ffs, couldn't even recover his body! Survived for 27 hours. Think I wouldn't survive 27 minutes.
