I can understand the quarantine for the kids and the trainer, but why for the SEAL divers?

Dark dank environment perfect for all kinds of exotic fungi and and bacteria to grow primarily in mucous membranes (eyes. sinus, lungs, etc). And theyve been in and out of there for days.

The quarantine period is just precautionary to ensure enough incubation time for any these to show up under tests, and then be treated early and prevent spreading in the event its contagious

Yep. If there were a real-life flat-chested Lara Croft who could squeeze through these caves, I would have expected to see her emerge for this.

I am glad they were all rescued.
All the rescuers should be rewarded, and the one brave man who died to be memorialized.

The name of the Navy SEAL who died is Saman Gunan. His sacrifice was not in vain.

Rest in peace.

Those kids damn well better thank their stars they're alive and they better earn their lives and honor that man who died for them.

Great end to a crazy story. I’ve done some caving and plenty of diving and once did two cave dives in cenotes near Cancun (Dos Ojos and The Pit) I didn’t realize that I was in such grave danger until I read the comments here. I hope guys aren’t dissuaded from cave diving by this event, it’s a lot of fun.

Here is a video of the British Divers making initial contact. I'm not sure if already posted. Can you imagine what it must of been like to pop your head out of the water and see the kids, as well as for the kids to initially see the divers? I was also surprised by the lack of emotion from the Thai kids. American children would of been crying and/or cheering... these kids were stoic.

They hadn't eaten for 10 whole days when they were found.

Oh these where tai seals. I thought American seals where making the trip to help with the rescue.

All the same non the less they should be distinguished and rip to the tai seal who died. Congrats to them for being successful.

Yeah cave diving is no joke I never have a desire to do much normal diving. Maybe when I'm older I'll get into diving but unless Id be joining the military for sf I'd rather free dive,or surf than do scuba for recreational purposes. But as far as joining the military goes even being a diver in the army would be cool.
Caves collapse all the time. Anyone ever see the movie about getting that one guys dead body out of a cave and he actually died getting it out? This was world record setting depths but while we're on the topic that guy made a promise to the guys parents after seeing the body while setting a record in a cave.

Rip to him and his valiant effort to get that body for that family to. If someone wants to pullup documentary footage and names for him go ahead I'm on my phone.

I really hope they find time to post in the 10-day water fast thread.

Definitely an incredible feat to rescue all the players. It's always great to see an international rescue operation pulled off without any political red-tape or animosity hindering their efforts.

It sure looked like him. Googling "underwater Jews" was a rabbithole I wish I hadn't gone down.

Damn, that's rough.

But if his father was aware of what was happening, he died a damn proud and happy man.

Incredible really. Squeezing through tiny holes like that is the stuff of nightmares for me.

Heroes, the lot of them.

Some guys here owe me an apology.
I was right all along.
The boys didn't move or swim worth shit on their own.
They were heavily drugged, barely conscious, tied to the divers and dragged out.

From bbc news today:

Quote:https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44797035

Sources in the rescue operation, including divers who took part, told the BBC that the boys were heavily sedated ahead of the rescue to prevent them panicking in the dark, narrow, underwater passageways. They were then strapped to one of two rescue divers tasked with shepherding each boy through the underwater parts of the system, and bundled into stretchers to be carried through the dry parts.

There were conflicting reports in the hours after the rescue about the extent to which the boys had been medicated before they were brought out. The Thai prime minister on Tuesday denied reports that they had been sedated, saying the boys were given only light anti-anxiety medication commonly provided to soldiers. But several sources have since confirmed that the boys were only partially conscious as they were brought out.

BTW read the thread. Somebody said that before.

Interesting. I was presuming that the kids and trainer quarantine was about the long time they spend without food and its health effects. But the SEALS did not stay there as much as the kids and trainer. Nontheless, its a good explanation.

It must be nice to stage a daring rescue from the safety of a pool.

Makes me want to ((convert)) ((.))
