Trapped Thai Boys Appear In Good Spirits In New Video From Cave
A new video shows them smiling and saying they're healthy. Now attention is shifting to the extraordinary challenge of getting the team out safely from where they are trapped inside the flooded cave.
The 12 Thai boys and their soccer coach trapped in a complex cave system in Chiang Rai have captured global attention since they disappeared and were found by British divers on Monday, nine days after they'd gone missing.
Now, attention has shifted to the next extraordinary challenge: How can they be evacuated safely from the spot where they are trapped, deep in the flooded cave?
The team is more than a mile a stark picture of their position in the the complicated, water-logged cave. There's a portion that is so steep it requires "full climbing gear," and in another part, the water-filled passage is too narrow for a swimmer to wear a scuba tank.
