It breaks my heart. They should have never been in that cave.

It breaks my heart. They should have never been in that cave.

From one article that I read... They put down their backpacks and took off their shoes.  The plan was to run in and write their name on the walls.  Flash flood happened....

Just goes to show that a group of kids shouldn't be taken out by only one adult--and so young an adult.

I'm so glad they're managing to get them out. I pray the rest are going to be able to get out too. I can't imagine what the parents have been going through.

Final mission underway

Thai authorities have confirmed today’s rescue mission began at 10.08 this morning (local time), with 19 divers going in.

Despite the heavy rain overnight, conditions in the cave haven’t changed much.

Michael Safi reports there was applause in the room as the rescue chief announced the four boys and their coach will be brought out in the one mission.
