Rescuers prepare to start a search mission for missing person at the site of a landslide in Kumano town, Hiroshima prefecture.

Houses were ripped from their foundations and cars washed away.




About 70 percent of Japan's land is made up of mountains and hills, so homes are often built on steep slopes, or flood-prone flat plains below them.

At least 100 people have died and more than 60 are missing after Japan suffered widespread flooding and landslides following the heaviest rains in recorded history.

Around 73,000 troops and emergency workers have been dispatched to search for the missing and to rescue residents left stranded on their rooftops after rivers burst their banks and swamped whole communities.

Days of constant rain finally stopped on Monday and as sunlight broke through the clouds it laid bare the full extent of the devastation.

13 boys?? So the Coach is also a boy?

He's 25.

rock003:
Correct your title. 12 boys, not 13

12 boys(teens) + 25 years old Coach = 13

A Thai Navy SEAL has died while trying to rescue the team of young footballers trapped in a cave in Thailand.

Saman Kunan, 37, died due to a lack of oxygen in the tunnel.

Kunan was trying to reach a cavern set up as a command centre 1.2miles inside the cave system when he ran out of air at 2am local time.

He was returning to the centre after placing oxygen tanks through the cave'sunderground network.

Over 1000 men; soldiers, police, Navy Seals, Mountain climbers, and divers.


4 helicopters, Hundreds of oxygen tanks, 5 industrial pumps, miles of pipes, 3 industrial generators on shift.

Airlifting the boys

A helicopter takes one of the boys rescued on Tuesday from the Tham Luang Cave near Mae Sai to hospital.

Rescue personnel prepare the transport which was later used in the evacuation of the boys and their coach.

Invitation: Manchester United invited the 12 players, their coach and their rescuers to come watch them play at Old Trafford.


Reactions

Residents in Chiang Rai, the city closest to the caves, took to the streets to celebrate, with drivers honking car horns and pedestrians dancing outside the hospital where the Wild Boar FC players are now recovering.

Thailand has erupted in celebration following the news that all 12 youth football players and their coach trapped in a flooded cave for more than two weeks have been rescued in an astonishing against-the-odds mission that captivated the world.

Authorities had been mulling ideas such as drilling holes into the mountain or waiting months until monsoon rains ended and they could walk out, with the rescue chief at one point dubbing the efforts to save them 'Mission Impossible'.

In the end, a team of specialist divers, lead by British experts and Thai Navy SEALs, entered the cave and 'effectively pulled' the boys through several miles of waterfilled tunnels one by one despite many of themnot even knowing how to swim.

Announcing the completion of the operation, rescue chief and Chiang Rai acting Governor Narongsak Osottanakorn praised the efforts of the international team, declaring that the success had been down to 'POWER OF LOVE'.

The final four school boys and their coach, who had been trapped in darkness in Tham Luang Cave complex for 18 days, were today carried out on stretchers as the three-day operation came to an end.

Final push: Rescuers walk toward the entrance to a cave complex where five were still trapped.

lastempero:
I understand that, but it seems the submarine is not user friendly. What if something goes wrong with the person inside, how will the divers get to know that in time.

I don't think anything can go wrong as long as the oxygen supply in the tube is well.

lastempero:
Elon no try for this one, a submarine that the user cannot control,what if something goes wrong

But he did something and this will be used in the future.

The divers will control it.

Officials from Musk's Boring Company and SpaceX traveled to Thailand to offertheir assistance, but it appears that the Thai government has managed without them.



An unidentified person is seen in the 'child-size' submarine built by Elon Musk and left in Thailand to help with the cave rescue.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted photographs and video of his 'mini-sub' that he has left in Thailand in an effort to help authorities rescue members of a boys' soccer team trapped in a cave.

Musk is in Thailand to tout his 'child-size submarine' that he says he is willing to leave in Thailand to help the boys although with two-thirds of them rescued he may be a bit late.

On Twitter and Instagram, Musk posted images showing himself in 'Cave 3' although there is no confirmation that that is where the trapped boys are located.

The prototype revealed by the billionaire Musk on Monday shows a large metal tube with a nose cone that is meant to serve as the mini-submarine that would help the members of the youth soccer team to safety.

Officials from Musk's Boring Company and SpaceX traveled to Thailand to offer their assistance, but it appears that the Thai government has managed without them.


The submarine (pictured below being tested in the US) is unlikely to be delivered to the cave rescue in time but may be used in similar rescuers in the future.

Hundreds of search and rescue workers spent the night combing through the wreckage for survivors.

A crane prepares to move part of the train wreckage as emergency workers look for survivors overnight on Sunday.

Pictured is a section of the track where the ground collapsed, which is believed to have caused the crash on Sunday.


Emergency workers scour the scene for survivors of the crash which happened on Sunday afternoon near the city of Corlu.

Farm vehicles also arrived to help transport the wounded after five out of the train's six cars went off the rails.

Five out of six cars left the rails after it ran over a section of track that partially collapsed after the ground underneath it gave way following heavy rains.


Bloodied passengers were pictured stumbling from the wrecked train carriages as medics rushed to help the wounded.
