It would collapse almost immediately. Water pressure!

Jon, Of course it would collapse, because it's a flexible liner tube. The idea is to pull each kid through it quickly, in less than 15 seconds. It would be like going through a birth canal.
-
It's nothing like a birth canal, and a lot longer. Really, it's totally unworkable and impractical. Plus, no chrrent manufacturing, massive risk plus all the things I listed above.
-
Jon, I am just throwing out ideas out there. The rescuers there on site there knows best and have a much better feel for the situation than we do. It's up to them to decide if it should work or not. As an engineer, I think it's practical, given the threats ahead..

It certainly doesn’t leave much room for optimism.
-
How are divers getting in and out - cant they just tie the kids onto a diver and let them pull them along. Suppose this sounds stupid to an expert but watching the hope in those boys faces is agonising.

I know. It’s just hearing the news about declining o2 levels and heavy rain forcasts. I would have thought it would be better to take the risk now than wait until it’s too late for anything. Then again, the experts must know what they are doing.

Painful to watch.

Why not do it like they did in the Poseidon Adventure - tie a a rope from where the kids are to the end of the rescue tunnel, give them an Oxygen tank and then have them follow along the rope with a scuba diver to guide them?
-
Because the kids can't swim and the professional divers barely make ir in alive. And some of the tunnel parts are so narrow...the scuba gear barely fits through. Its a sadly technical situation.

One of the Thai navy seals actually died yesterday in the cave.

So terrible.
