    A phone line has been installed so that parents can talk to their children as rescuers weigh options for extracting them from the flooded cave in Thailand. @ABC News' @JamesAALongman has the latest from Chiang Rai. https://abcn.ws/2z5SChm pic.twitter.com/wQBWcVQmS9

        No, a seal specop needs it .. But vice versa they got their the same way as the rescuers or what happened to their path ? But with scuba diving you can pull them along with ropes or have assistance along the road .. #Thailand #caverescue

        This remind anyone else of the 2010 Chilean miners rescue? Or Baby Jessica in 1987? Let's keep prayers going as those terrifying rescue operations went on. I was glued to my T.V. for both. I pray for another happy ending... And SOON! Those kids are being so brave. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

        Isn't it possible to design some sort of air-filled, sealed capsule that could transport the boys under water? How can you train 11 - 16 year olds to cave dive? I'm a self-taught diver and dove in beautiful, clear water. Despite loving adrenaline, I cannot imagine black waters.

        Some good feedback from cave experts in Thailand. Iterating with them on an escape pod design that might be safe enough to try. Also building an inflatable tube with airlocks. Less likely to work, given tricky contours, but great if it does.

        How about using a small watertight capsule attached to a strong rope between point of entrance and eviction and moved by an electric winch? A diver can direct the capsule which contains each boy at a time.

        Can't they drill down. 240 feet away from the cave or less than dig toward the kids to reach them

        Ok guys i must be missing something they walked into this area but its too thin 4 air tanks? Did the guide have them initially crawl where they are were there not warnings for areas for tourist sake or was this an official tourist trap with no saftey warnings

        Good question. How tight ARE some of those spaces? But, little kids would love that adventure. I'm sure the coach wasn't expecting the heavy, sudden rains that's trapped them. But mad props on keeping them calm and collected. Their smiling faces gives me hope. But praying a LOT!
