Thanks, Elvis. They certainly need all the prayers they can get. I read it takes may take 11 hours to make the trek.

just in
"According to the BBC, Tossathep Boonthong, chief of Chiang Rai's health department and part of the rescue team, says: "Two kids are out. They are currently at the field hospital near the cave." The boys are undergoing physical examination and have not yet been moved to Chiang Rai hospital yet.'

This is the best website I found for the news on the boys' extraction.
www.firstpost.com/worl...90401.html
Here is a drawing of the cave they are in.

Its terrible the situation they are in, a miracle they are still alive. But I gotta say it feels my heart with joy to see people from all corners of the world come together in helping / aiding the rescue efforts. I do pray they all come out alive, its a huge effort from what I can see on the news. Divers placing / replacing tanks along the way.
Very sad about the rescuer who already died.

I've been trying to keep up with the news reports. Lots of people talking about it but I hear them say conflicting information which makes me think that some of the news sources are "guessing" at what is happening and who is coming out.
I'm still trying to figure out how they got so far back in the cave through at choke point of 18". I also was under the impression that the heavy rains that flooded the cave came in the entrance and pushed the team back further into the cave. I read this morning that the water levels in the cave rise and fall from the rain as the water migrates through the limestone mountain.
