Missing Thai Soccer Team Found Alive

Some of you may not remember the “Baby Jessica” story in 1987. The little girl was but 18 months old when she fell down an 8” well shaft. It took 5 days to get her out. It was all over the news.

I sure do remember.

I was kind of hoping for the same sort of live TV coverage, but I understand they're not there for entertainment.

So do I.

That was before reality tv too, I believe.

They will try Tuesday to get the rest out (four remain)- replacing air tanks along the route. Rains have stated again which could increase the amount of water in the cave.

One little factoid I read is that when rescuers found the team, the coach was in the worst shape. The oldest player just turned 17 and they went in as part of the celebration. They had some snacks with them, which is likely what helped them survive. The coach would not eat any, and insisted the players eat.

I'm not sure I agree with this. The first rule of rescue is keep yourself safe. The coach can't die and leave his team without their leader.

There have been unconfirmed reports that they brought out the healthiest ones first- to see if they could make the difficult trip. Coach to be one of the last ones to go.

Well, coach used to be a monk so I'm fairly certain he knew what he could handle. I don't think I could eat when hungry kids were sitting there.

No, they took out the weakest first. I just read a whole article on it. It makes sense. Ya can't let them get any weaker or they may not be able to make it out.

They are all out now.
