#2 We went through this during a freak thunderstorm. The underground river quickly flooded the entire route passageway. We didn't plan for a SUBA situation. Ceiling air sucking is moving water is not where you want to be. Ever.

Frankly I'd given up on these kids. Great news.

#4 Reuters this morning:

Seven members of a Thai navy SEALS unit, including a medic and a counselor, were staying with the group after its dramatic discovery on an elevated rock late on Monday by divers who had struggled for hours through narrow passages and murky waters.

A video shot by the rescuers in flickering torchlight 4 km (2.5 miles) from the mouth of the cave in Thailand’s northernmost province showed boys clad in shorts and red and blue shirts sitting or standing on the rock above an expanse of water.

The 13 have been given a gel with high calorie and mineral content to sustain them while rescue plans are worked out.
