        I was reading a news feed about this and I think your linked article @martin-f explains what the rest hadn't. I wondered how/why thay got there. Then "the main entrance" reference and rain in your link unknitted my brows.

          My heart skipped a beat when I heard this news earlier. I’m hopeful that now they’ve found them, they will get them out.
          My heart bled when I heard that those boys asked for food ( 9/10 days missing ) And then they where told, we are not getting you today! It puts things into perspective !!!!

            According to media reports(TV & Newspapers) the 1st two of those lads trapped in that cave system in Thailand have been brought out alive and two ambulances with lights flashing have driven away to take the boys to hospital.:yay:

            Fingers crossed :fingers crossed:that they all get out alive and that the only casualty is the diver who lost his life the other day:sad:

            Our thoughts and prayers go to everyone involved in this rescue mission:smile:

            PS It is reckoned now that 4 of the boys have reached the surface and have been flown by helicopter to the hospital 35 miles away and the others have to now wait until tomorrow for rescue but don’t believe all you read:biggrin:

                Good news about more of those young lads being rescued today and :fingers crossed: crossed that the last ones get out safely and I assume the two medical people are still with them as well at the moment?:scratch:

                  A GIANT iceberg drifting close to the coast of a small town has sparked fears of a tsunami that would swamp the area.

                  Town evacuated over Iceberg ‘tsunami’

                  “The iceberg is still near the village and the police are now discussing what do to next,”
