All 12 boys and their football team coach have been found alive after becoming trapped in a flooded cave for more than a week in Thailand.

Chang Rai governor Narongsak Osottanakorn told reporters that Thai Navy SEALs had found the group alive after nine days of desperate searching.

He added: 'We found them safe.

But the operation isn't over.

'We will bring food to them and a doctor who can dive.

I am not sure they can eat as they have not eaten for a while.'

These guys would be so starved from Hunger and stress considering their age. Truly their chances of being alive is very thin.

Thin.

Searchers trying to reach a dozen boys and their soccer coach in a flooded cave complex used huge pumps to reduce the water level, allowing divers to place guide ropes and air tanks along the route, officials said Sunday.

Given how long the boys and their coach have been missing, the odds of finding them alive seemed to be growing thin. But the governor of Chiang Rai Province, Narongsak Osottanakorn, who is overseeing the search-and-rescue operation, expressed hope that Thai Navy SEAL divers could soon reach the cavern where the group is believed to be.

Tham Luang Cave, a popular destination for cave explorers, is well known for flooding during the rainy season, which generally runs from July to November.

The boys and their coach entered the cave system on June 23, shortly before a heavy rainstorm began. Rising floodwaters trapped them several miles inside.

The ensuing search-and-rescue operation, involving hundreds of people from some 20 government agencies and half a dozen nations, has captivated Thailand, with people across the country, including the king, following the developments.

The United States sent a team of 17 Air Force rescue specialists based on the Japanese island of Okinawa to aid in the search, along with additional support staff.

Groups from Australia, Britain, China, Laos and Myanmar are also assisting in the operation, as are several Thai companies, including the country’s biggest oil and gas exploration firm.

Let us be adding that source of protein to every news of our hunters that killed animals to make the news more civilized

Lol...

Rescuers from China and Australia have joined the search for a youth soccer team missing in a Thai cave, as divers believe they're closing in on the spot where the group could be sheltering.

The international rescue operation which includes more than 1,000 people from Thai emergency services, alongside a US military contingent and British cave experts has been ramping up its efforts since the 12 boys and their 25-year-old soccer coach disappeared during an outing in the caves in northern Thailand on June 23.

Divers are now closing in on elevated dry area, called Pattaya Beach, where they believe the missing boys may have taken refuge in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave system.

What kind of question is this? You should know my caliber and pedigree and you of all people should know I can give my wife such a ring.

The only problem is I do not have the money to buy the ring

Lol.....You've answered the question in your last statement.

ahhh

In Florida, it is legal to kill iguanas but it must be done in a humane manner.

Stabbing them in the brain or decapitating them are said to be other methods of humane killing.

She said: 'I hope to encourage any of my Floridian friends to take the time to clean and eat these lizards.

I promise, they are delicious!!!!!!!'


Peters sauteed the iguana's meat with onions and chives before using it all in aburrito with avocado, sour cream and salsa

A Minneapolis woman living in Florida is no stranger when it comes to hunting iguanas, choosing them as her ideal source of protein.

Brittany Peters, a resident of South Florida, has found a suitable way to tackle the invasive species and save a few bucks on groceries.

'I like to promote eating what you harvest and know a lot of people kill iguanas since they are a nuisance, and I wanted to cook and eat them hoping to encourage those who kill them to also eat them,' she said.

Many refer to iguanas as the 'chicken of the trees' as they are said to have a taste similar to the popular poultry.

Iguanas offer pretty lean meat, actually offering more protein than chicken.

One 17ct Chopard diamond sported by the former Spice Girl in 2008 has been valued at £2 million alone.

Another set David back £700,000 a pink-champagne diamond halo ring to celebrate Victoria’s 30th birthday in 2004.


This refined square-cut diamond in platinum, believed to be worth £110,000, was first spotted on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival in 2016.

The singer-turned-designer has updated hers an astonishing 14 times since footballer husband David first proposed with a £65,000 marquise-cut diamond in 1998.

Last week Victoria, 44, was seen at Paris Fashion Week with yet another ring: a £120,000 square-cut yellow diamond set on a platinum pave band.It appeared just weeks after the couple were forced to deny rumours of a divorce, which were described by their representatives as ‘laughable and embarrassing’.

The latest addition brings the combined value of the collection to around £8.9 million, according to Tim Belson of Hatton Garden’s Prestige Valuations.

They're parents are not politicians o, see the response.

bujebudanu1:
Well.no Nigeria kid will open his/her eyes to enter that kinda cave/trap

Yea, because is not our thing.

Ishilove:
Parents should warn their kids, true, but they had an adult with them who should have known better.

I agree with your opinion. Seven days, no food or clean water. The reality which people are unwilling to accept is VERY GRIM.

Any way, never say never. We will remain positive till the end.

I can only imagine how it would have been if this was Nigeria.

Just hoping for the best.

They can't warn them because adventure is in their blood, even the parent will do the same.


In some countries, it going be cave spirit, oracle swallowed them.

Any rescue team that attempts to search will also be swallowed.

So they won't just brother or give up after 2days.

Two theories



The boys and their coach are believed to have crawled into the large series of caves through a narrow, 15-meter (50-foot) channel.

A sign at the entrance to the cave, a popular tourist attraction warns of danger during the rainy season, which is just getting underway.

Rescue teams are currently entertaining two theories about where the boys might be, working from the starting point where their bags were found, at a fork 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) from the mouth of the cave, deep into the underground tunnels.



They could have turned left or right at this point, but Thai rescuers have been working on the assumption that they took the closest high ground, to the left heading south.

UK experts now wonder if they went right, which would have taken them to the highest ground overall heading north, which is where the chimney is being explored.

Divers continue to work at the mouth of the cave, and drilling is underway at several points in the cave complex, primarily to relieve the flooding.

Pumps are also being used to try to dispel the water from cave tunnels, rather than provide access.


Josh Morris, the founder of Chiang Mai Rock Climbing Adventures, who is familiar with the terrain, says that despite the ticking clock, there is reason to be optimistic about the group's survival.

"I'm sure there is hope left.

The boys are still within the first week and the boys who have been going into this cave, from what I have understood, have been in the cave many times before, so it is highly likely that they kind of knew where they were going and were able to get themselves to a safe place,"

He told CNN's "Connect the World."
