Twelve boys and their coach have been rescued from the flooded cave in Thailand.
Divers using guide ropes and shared oxygen tanks managed to safely rescue every member of the Wild Boars football team and the coach who were trapped in the Tham Luang cave for several weeks.
Ambulances were seen leaving the cave taking the boys to hospital.
The boys are said to be in “high spirits” and are recovering in hospital.
Read below for live updates as the rescue continues:
boy they sure milked that story …..sure a movie in the works….meanwhile over in Palastine, Yemen, and……
let’s not forget the American Nationals…….https://www.activistpost.com/2016/03/call-it-what-it-is-america-is-a-police-state.html …… ‘The United States is now a country where millions of people are locked away in inhuman conditions of confinement, the overwhelming majority of them for crimes in which there was no victim.’ Rescue, anyone?
yeah….. there will be a made-for-TV movie about this to milk it for all the distraction value it’s worth.
“……Divers using guide ropes and shared oxygen tanks managed to safely rescue every member of the Wild Boars football team……”
Aha…. they followed my advice, and the boys are safe.
I hope it wasn’t too difficult to pry the soccer coach apart from the boys.
I may be alone on this or lambasted for my “bleeding heart,” but I am relieved that these 13 were brought to safety. I know the media sensationalizes and I know there are so many other atrocities that need our attention, but this was an effort of humanity pulling together for a positive outcome. I certainly have a tendency to stand in the shoes of the other, so naturally I search inside myself to see what it would be like were it my child trapped in that cave. One can only hope they’d come from every corner to give their courage and strength to the rescue. Okay, jus’ kill me now.

Any moral soul would have to say ‘good deal’ to the rescue, but it is the production and the agenda behind it that is the problem.
You see, we in America here have to get used to a fella named John Yoo telling us what our rights are and are not. We have to get used to the idea that we American nationals will live on one side of the tracks while foreign international elitists look down upon us from the other side. We are supposed to think they are just like us as the wanton slave populations of Asia descend upon us.
I don’t live in Thailand and though this human interest story turned out well for those involved, I could really care less. The problems in my country that face me and mine make a soccer team trapped in a cave pale in comparison.
Guess we tend to look at what they put the spotlight on to our detriment. 🙂
Thank you, Henry. I find myself capable of, and choosing to, do both: acknowledging my concern for the boys, and staying attuned to the fight of our lives. Who knows, maybe it’s a woman thing.

I hear you, sister. Hopefully one of those wonderful young Thais will not show up during our uprising wearing a United Nations powder blue uniform and kill someone you love. 🙂
I hope the same. And one day he could show up aiding in an effort to rescue my grandchild from a flooding cave.

Tell you what, Galen, my youngest son works as a welder. After the Trump tax break, his employer announced he would be taking his bundle and building a new shop in Thailand. And he’d be bringing those sweet wonderful Thais over here so my son could teach them how to weld, said skill he paid cash money for through a college tuition.
Hell, maybe you are right, they are such wonderful people we should give them our jobs, and hell, even our country.
Straight up. I’ve got no use for the f#@king Thais.
Maybe we better just let it lie there. 🙂
I do understand that injustice, Henry. And I in no way condone it or any of the other geopolitical bs. I just think some things transcend all that, bringing it all down to human decency.
Okay, I’ll let go, unless, that is, something else comes up.
🙂
