Thai cave: Divers advance in effort to save trapped boys


Recommended Posts

Thai navy divers searching for a group trapped in a cave for more than a week are getting closer to the area it is thought they could be stranded.

Nothing has been heard from the boys aged 11 to 16 and their football coach since they went to explore the Tham Luang caves in Chiang Rai on Saturday.

The hope is they sought safety on a mound in an underground chamber.

Rescuers have been helped by falling water levels inside the cave but are making slow progress.

The group's plight has gripped the country and led to an outpouring of support and hope.

Heavy rain - and the knowledge they were not equipped for a long stay underground - has led to fears that the boys and their coach might not survive.

Rear Admiral Apakorn Yuukongkaew, commander of the Thai Navy Seals, said on Sunday that his divers had reached "chamber three" in the cave complex.

They had been forced back from that location by rising floodwaters earlier in the week.

It was about 3km (2 miles) from chamber three to the elevated rock mound - nicknamed "Pattaya Beach" by cavers after the well-known Thai beach resort city - Rear Adm Yuukongkaew said.

"Now we are heading from the third chamber to an intersection; then we will reach Pattaya Beach. It is hard because it's dark and flooded. The most important thing for today is speeding up to reach the kids," he told reporters.

As well as the Seals, a team of international cave diving experts is at the cave to help with the rescue, but they are facing intensely difficult conditions underground.

Pumps are removing about 10,000 litres of water from the cave every hour but some sections are still flooded.

There is almost zero visibility in those areas, so divers are making slow progress. Provincial Governor Narongsak Osottanakorn told reporters on Monday morning that it had taken the team about eight hours to travel 600m.

Underscoring the dangers of the rescue scene, he also said four volunteers had briefly gone missing on Wednesday after entering the cave without letting co-ordinators know.

Thai medical experts say the group's survival depends on whether they find fresh drinking water.

They could survive eight days without food, Medical Services Department Director Dr Somsak Akkasilp said.

But they were at risk from infection from unclean water or contact with an animal inside the cave, he added.

Cave temperatures are believed to be between 20C and 25C (68F to 77F) and the porous limestone rock means there should be enough oxygen, although some caves in the region are known to contain bad air pockets with carbon dioxide.

Messages the children sent before setting off to explore the cave on Saturday suggest they had taken torches and some food.

Rescuers have also been searching through jungle on the mountainside for alternative entrances to the caves.

Experts have said there is a good chance the limestone cave does have other entrances.
