If you like me thought about this terrible event where the kids from a soccer team in Thailand are trapped underground. You might have wondered why it takes them so long to perform rescue efforts. Well firstly there was monsoon weather that stopped them from being found for 10 days.
Here are some wonderful diagrams that explains what the rescue efforts are made up of:
Currently they have retrieved 8 boys from the caves, who all show signs of infection and are being treated at hospital. This disastrous event has garnered international attention with even Elon Musk showing up at the site in support.
Just returned from Cave 3. Mini-sub is ready if needed. It is made of rocket parts & named Wild Boar after kids’ soccer team. Leaving here in case it may be useful in the future. Thailand is so beautiful. pic.twitter.com/EHNh8ydaTT
