so far at least 4 have been evacuated safely. One by one can enter and exit. Some areas 15" wide. Many areas under water.

Isreali tech that took 20 engineers to invent help them communicate in areas that are in the maze and to send signals through water-filled areas:

A sharp rebuke to those who think that modern scientific advancement makes us masters of nature.

looks cool. However, it is a tall, unflexible metal structure.
Doesn't look like it would be able to navigate these ups and downs in these tight 15" curved spots in the Thai caves/canals as shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv30_Ycj4mI

Meh. Seems like another attention grab by Elon Musk. But who knows? If it works I give him all the credit he wants.

It's not gonna be used, or even attempted to be used - so yes, it's an attention grab.

It's quite unbelievable. I've watched multiple videos explaining the process and seen multiple images and still can't quite wrap my head around the journey they must take to escape.

I am trying to wrap my head around being stuck on that small patch on ground in total darkness for x amount of days. Can't even imagine what the soccer coach was going through knowing those kids are his responsibility.

I wonder how long it takes until you lose hope that anyone is coming for you.

Is it too soon to say he deserves to be jailed?

Fwiu there were warning signs not to go this time of year.

Not to mention you have to be thinking at any minute the water could rise again.

In the news i haven't seen anywhere that they are blaming the coach. Some of the letters specifically stated that he did no wrong
