12 boys lost in flooded Thai cave

[rhwestfall]

seems they are saying 10-20 hours to replenish/stage supplies.

Skip the pissing contest, any reliable indication when round 2 starts?

Yes, around 8 AM local Thai time, the night will be used to replace air tanks in the cave and rest the rescue divers doing the extraction. It's all up to how long it will take to replenish the air tanks, could be a bit longer too

They must really be getting some downpours

After a tough rescue in round 1, does anyone know if it will be different crew escorting out round 2?

Man that's gotta be stressful for everyone involved. Even though you have validation that the process works, now you've gotta go back and do it again 9 more times. Plus however many else are in the cave helping out.

13 foreign divers and five Thai navy SEALs made up the rescue team and were among a team of 90 divers involved in the rescue effort overall

Pure Speculation:

I believe the first 4 were the weakest

I'm guessing they might try for the rest tomorrow, now they as you say have validate their plan - if possible

I bet those divers are toast from the first dive, physically AND mentally.

I'll bet that's an understatement, I cannot comprehend how exhausted they must be

I feel for the night crew also who are schlepping all those cylinders and making dives and repositioning everything for tomorrow.

Everyone must be on their chinstraps by now not only after today but all the prep and planning work so far.

I believe the first 4 were the weakest

reports seem to indicate it was the strongest/fittest/healthiest....

I've heard conflicting reports. I can see get the weakest out first. Conversely, I can see validating the plan with the strongest so by the time you get to the weakest, you've worked all the bug out. Dr. Richard Harris is the guy in the cave calling the shots on the medical side. He's a smart dude, a solid cave diver, and probably the best person to be in that situation.

Either way, it's gonna be rough on everyone if it's anything other than a resounding success.

I bet it'll be the same 18 best of the best divers. Practice makes perfect & increase the chance of success.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said:

"If, as we all hope, they are reunited with their families in the coming days and their health allows them to travel, FIFA would be delighted to invite them to attend the 2018 World Cup final in Moscow as our guests. I sincerely hope that they will be able to join us at the final, which will undoubtedly be a wonderful moment of communion and celebration.”

Let’s hope this can happen for the boys.
