“Thank you,” say the missing Thai boys as British divers finally find them inside the cave after 9 days. But it may still be months before rescuers can get them out. #ThaiCaveRescue

The boys were found about 2.5 miles from the mouth of the cave on a rock shelf. It took expert divers several hours to get to the group through narrow, twisting passages. Bringing them out will not be easy #ThaiCaveRescue
The Thai Army says the boys will need to learn to dive or wait up to 4 months for flooding to recede before they can get out. Food supplies are being sent in and authorities are trying to get power & phone lines into the cave so the boys can speak with their parents #ThaiCave
Thai authorities say a former navy SEAL working to rescue the boys has died from lack of oxygen. SEAL commander, Arpakorn Yookongkaew says the rescuer was working in a volunteer capacity and died during an overnight mission in which he was placing oxygen canisters.
Some good news for once – all 12 boys and their coach who were trapped inside the Thai cave are finally safe and sound.
