The twelfth boy and his coach were the last of the team to be rescued Tuesday, after a complicated three-day operation to extricate the team, who became trapped on June 23 when rising flood water cut off the exit, deep inside the cave.

In the last 18 days, what began as a local search for the missing 13 turned into a complex rescue operation, involving hundreds of experts who flew in from around the world to help.

Americans helped. No word on whether muzzies pitched in to help save the boys.

“Americans helped. No word on whether muzzies pitched in to help save the boys.”


I think the religion of the rescuers is meaningless here——why even bring it up?

“Revenge is the prerogative of the Lord.”

Who in turn has delegated that authority to others on an as needed basis.

Wasn’t it his bright idea to go into that cave?

FWIW: Apparently the coach is a monk who earns a small amount coaching. He gave the boys all his food and apologized to the parents a few days ago. Personally I think being in that cave with the responsibility of stabilizing 12 boys for 9 days before discovery was sufficient “correction.”

He went looking for the kids when they were late getting home.

You might want to read up more on it and not take the Internet’s fake comments about it as fact.

Correct, for what, exactly??

Do you really believe every comment you read on the Internet??

“Gosh, it must be true, they can’t post lies on the Internet!”

Seems the story is the coach saved the boys after they entered the cave without him.

“Whose idea was it?”

Before you ask that questions, why don’t you post your credible reference for even asking the question.

The ONLY statements made that blame the coach are from feeble minded Internet posters that think just because the coach was present that he was at fault.

Praise the Lord. God delivers another miracle, but he had tons of help this time.

Cheers for everyone involved in the rescue, and especially the Thai Navy special forces diver who lost his life.

Did the kids just get the idea on their own...I don’t know since I have only read fragments of the story.

“The coach went looking and found the kids in the caves.”

And as soon as he found them the tunnel immediately filled up wth water?
