A retired Thai Navy SEAL diver died in Tham Luang Cave when he ran out of air while underwater, Thai authorities said.
He is the first fatality in the operation to rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach, who have been trapped in the cave for nearly two weeks.

This story has ben painful to watch,and Thai rainfall comes in like clockwork.If a diver ran out of oxygen & died,maybe boring down might be the final option?
ReplyDeleteThey need some experienced divers to assist. This story is very sad indeed.
ReplyDeleteGrew up in pa many caves to be explored. As a kid we used to go in a lot of them but with experience and getting to know the caves over time was fun. But would never go that far into an unknown cave without more research. Surprised the coaches were awol!
ReplyDeleteExtra oxygen tanks or larger oxygen tanks are bulky and the quarters are tight.Drones need to be making supply runs.
ReplyDeleteHorrible news!
ReplyDeleteSo if a retired Navy Seal ran out of air, why would you give the kids dive gear and expect them to make it out before they run out of air. This is heartbreaking to watch.
ReplyDeletewhy are those poor kids even down there
