The boys have full face masks. The divers will have whatever is appropriate for them I guess.

I suspect the coach will be concerned about the reception he will get, assuming he is rescued.

The parents have written to him telling him not to blame himself. What the authorities do remains to be seen. In his shoes I wouldn't need the help of outside agencies to feel utterly wretched about the mistake I'd made. But there may be more to the story yet that we don't know.

But he should have known it was dangerous to enter the cave at this time of year.

I didn't say that he didn't. In which case he's probably beyond furious with himself.

All the boys and the coach are out. Only four more people to leave.

An amazing rescue and pleased all the boys are out - and hope the remaining four divers get out okay too. Hadn't realised until now that they had gone into the cave as some initiation challenge apparently. A local tradition which I hope all this puts an end to.

Yes!

It is marvellous news, I imagine the whole world has been holding its breath (poor grammar but you get my drift I hope).

I hope those in hospital do not have anything much wrong with them, no parasitical infections or whatever. I read one had some infection in lung but that is treatable. Their parents will be longing to get them home but for now seeing them through a window must suffice - better than a couple of days ago.

Well he lives in Thailand and the only possible reason why you might live in Thailand is to have sex with children.

In case it wasn’t obvious, that was sarcasm.

*I read something - in the Built on Bones book - about one tunnel where the cavers had to dislocate their shoulders in order to get through, but when they did so, they discovered a cave with very important Neanderthal bones.

Jeez! I think I'll stick with cycling as a pastime!

ole-biscuit barrel Steven!

Strikes me that some are jealous/resentful of others who have been able to help in a rescue mission like this - even if their help was not needed it was still in reserve and the effort valued. Sour grapes.

No-one should call someone else a paedo without evidence, quite disgusting.

Musk's ex wife has some interesting things to say about him. Yet another successful narcissist.

Indeed. And - as an insult - it was inaccurate. These boys were not children they were adolescents. Mr Unsworth should sue ...

Except that isn't relevant to Musk's comments.

One of the posters on IS has lived in Thailand for years and has been posting interesting facts about Thai law and what they could legally come up with against Musk, but probably won't because they love much more the idea of his money.

Musk is too rich to sue I'm afraid and cannot be challenged unless and until somebody of equal status and resource takes the part of the aggrieved.

Normally I'd agree, but in the circumstances I think there may be a chance here; Unsworth is rated as a hero and there may well be a private or public figure willing to bank roll his legal case.

The other thing I'm hearing is that Tesla's backers are pissed off. That may bring some pressure for an apology.

He's deleted the tweets so I suspect some form of apology won't be far behind. The fanboys on the feed were happy to go along with it.
