Thai cave rescue: Four boys emerge after weeks trapped in dark
WHILE four boys have been rescued, nine people are still trapped in a flooded Thai cave system as the rescue effort continues.
THE world is watching with bated breath as 12 boys trapped in a flooded Thai cave system make a perilous journey to safety.
Four of the boys have been rescued so far, but nine remain underground including their 25-year-old soccer coach.
Contrary to initial reports it's now believed the weakest boys were selected to come out first, following an assessment of the boys by Adelaide cave diver and anaesthetist Dr Richard Harris.
The governor described the four rescued boys as in "perfect" health — despite earlier reports that one was being "closely monitored" — calling the rescue "our masterpiece work". They were evacuated by helicopter and ambulance to hospital in Chiang Rai province.
According to CNN, the boys will spend a day or two in isolation, inside a sterilised isolation unit, as a health precaution. This means they'll have no physical contact with their parents until the isolation period is over.
The extraction of those remaining is expected to take another two to four days, depending on conditions.
Ten News reporter Daniel Sutton says it's unlikely the nine in the cave are aware their teammates were rescued successfully, due to a lack of communication tools between them and the entrance.
Experts say it's crucial for their survival that the remaining boys are told of the positive news.
Officials said on Sunday night that the extraordinary operation would now pause for 10 to 20 hours to assess next steps, check equipment and refill oxygen tanks stationed along the dangerous route.
The rescue is expected to resume anywhere between 8am and 4pm local time today (11am-7pm AEST).
FOUR BOYS RESCUED FROM CAVE.
The group of boys, who play in a local soccer team called "Wild Boars", have been stranded in a cramped chamber of the Tham Luang cave complex since June 23.
When British cave diving specialists found them nine days later, they were cold and malnourished, with several suffering from exhaustion. But the arrival of monsoon rains has made it essential to begin extracting them.
In a race against time amid a heavy downpour, experts concluded their original plan to swim the boys out was the best option.
Thirteen divers entered the cave at 10am Sunday local time (1pm AEST) — some heading straight for the trapped group and others taking up stations along the 3km system of flooded chambers.
Ten rescuers headed to the boys in chamber nine, and to the junction at chamber six, while the others went to support positions shortly afterwards.
Each boy was to wear a full scuba mask, wetsuit, boots and a helmet as they were accompanied by two divers through the cave.
They were to be strapped to a "buddy", the leading diver, by a tether and dragged along.
This diver was to carry two tanks and share oxygen with the boy as the other followed them through the cold, murky water and airless chambers that have already claimed one life.
The foreign divers and five Thai divers entered the caves after an Australian doctor gave the all-clear. Locals were required because none of the foreigners speak Thai and communication before and during the dive was key.
Additional rescue personnel, including divers from Thailand, the US, Australia, China and Europe, were stationed between the third chamber and the entrance, where the boys would have to use a rope to traverse challenging terrain.
Before the Thai rescuers went in, they posted a message on the navy's Facebook page: "We, the Thai Navy SEALS, along with the international diver team, are ready to bring the soccer team home.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?.
How quickly the remaining boys are moved out will depend on the conditions and water levels inside the cave, which are likely to rise with the rain. Operations "may stop and start depending on conditions," the Thai governor Narongsak Osottanakorn said.
The governor said officials are "still at war with water and time", after experts warned him that rain could shrink the dry ledge where the boys are sheltering to just 10sq m.
"All the plans must not have any holes in them," he said, noting that "hundreds of people have vetted this" and "there will always be margins for error".
He said floodwaters had been drained as much as possible, but the rain could increase the risk.
"The plan that I've held on to from the beginning is that we have to bring the kids out and the determining factor of this plan is to have as little water as possible.
He also warned of higher carbon dioxide levels in the cave.
Water levels inside the cave are fluctuating, making it difficult to know for sure how long some of the dives will take.
The death of military diver Saman Kunan on Friday underscored the huge risks the boys face.
Saman was part of a team trying to establish an airline to the chamber where the children were awaiting rescue. He had placed oxygen tanks along the route but didn't have enough air to get back to safety.
"We lost one man, but we still have faith to carry out our work," Navy SEAL commander Apakorn vowed.

How to: Anor Londo in 20 minutes - Dark Souls Remastered - Duration: 17:55.
Master Key as gift because fuck undead burg lol
I chose this route for the convenience, you can get a strong early game weapon [GLS] that means that once you get to Londo, you're still relevant. It's not the fastest route though.
Warrior as starter class because 13 str 13 dex, meaning you just need 3 levels to be able to 2hand the gravelord sword [GLS]
This also isn't a perfect run, you could do this same route and be much faster, but if you're inexperienced you can still probably do this in just over 20 minutes.
Don't even look at Fatty, don't give him the attention he craves
F to pay respects to our boy Oscar
Most hated part of the game right here for me. Makes me wish I picked Black Firebomb.
Dunk
Dunked :' (
As soon as we land in Firelink, we have enough souls for 2 levels
And after yoinking this, we have enough for 3, which gives us the 16 str / 13 dex we're looking for
Stopping off for some homeward bones, not really needed for this run but it's another addition for convenience's sake later on.
Now we begin the careful trek to the GLS
Stick near the left edge then hug the right wall at the skelly, to juke him into the shadow realm
Try not to have a panic attack hearing the spooky death squad chasing you
Escape the bone zone
If this coming shortcut is unfamiliar to you, you can stand where I end up standing and before rolling, if you look down you can see the platform you want to drop onto.
Dont take too long though, otherwise the skellies might drop down with you and push you off course
I estus here because I'm terrified of titanite demon jumping hitboxes
Gotta grab the eyes before you can take the cool kids coffin carriage
y o i n k
thank fuck I estused lmao
Quit out and reload to reset the aggro on the titanite demon, he CAN and WILL dunk you while you're napping
ZZzzzZZzzzzZZzz
The GLS is pretty gross early game. If we stuck around to kill the gargoyles, it would've 4 or 5 shot them.
top 10 anime weapons
Now the plan is to go via New Londo and Valley of the Drakes to Darkroot, then onto Undead Parish.
[mario jump noise]
Free souls, why not?
Y o i n k
Y o i n k x 2
The trick to the drakes is to hug the left edge of the walkway and then dodge right when they breathe lightning.
Also, watch out for the tails. You want to give them a lotta space when you pass them, as otherwise they can turn and push you off the edge with their tail collision box
To Darkroot we go!
[Overused Weed Joke]
Hi Andre
Bye Andre
If you're not too confident about these next parts then be sure to light the bonfire. Going back to firelink is big OOF
This upcoming part is known as "Sen skip". The 2nd pillar up after the steps start has some strange collision or something
You want to lure one of the sword dudes over near it, parry, and then barefist riposte them with your back to it. I feel like the right side is better
If you're too close, you might overshoot and die, if you're too far it won't work. Doing it barefist gives you multiple chances
Here I just wanted some time to set it up properly, so I parried and then got into position
When your game starts looking like some cheap flash shoot'em'up then you know you've done it right. Beware though, you now have resident evil controls. Forward moves you forwards and moving the joystick to the side will steer you.
Kill the dude so that if you choke or panic, you don't get killed and sent back.
What I use to remember how to do this part is that if the stairs down to the bonfire at the top are in the "down direction", after going to the left for the first time on the staircase, keep moving forwards and hug the wall on the end.
Quit and reload after you see "Sen's Fortress", for spooky glitch spell to fade and leave you in the swanky funhouse
Most of Sen's is just business as usual
If you didn't know, quitting and reloading resets the boulder, so you can run halfway up the slope then quit out and load back in and just run the rest of the way up.
I love how this guy just backs away when he sees you, and lets you past. What a nice guy
If possible, you want to have him turned to the side when he stumbles, so you can give him the
B I G C H E E S E
[i fucked up though feelsbadman]
This noise right here is a handy windows prompt that popped up and minimised my game. The "Fuck" that was said at the same time still echoes around the planet to this day
If you mess up and get grabbed like I did [it's the only real dangerous move he has] just abuse quit outs and try again. Because that's fair :^)
Only one of us is getting dunked today Mister.
I fucked the cheese strat on this fight so it took way longer, feel free to skip to 17:30 to skip most of the fight.
Thanks for watching, and I hope this has been a useful guide!

Thai boys' perilous trip through dark maze - Duration: 4:37.
Four boys have so far completed the hazardous escape, according to rescue officials, and are receiving medical treatment
Efforts to bring the remaining eight boys and their adult coach to the surface will resume on Monday morning
The boys are each being led by two divers as they wind four kilometres through pitch darkness, trudge through thick mud, clamber over slippery jagged rocks and dive through narrow passageways swirling with cold, strong currents
"It's dangerous to the most experienced divers to go through," said one diver who spoke to Reuters
"It's pretty scary." The cave system, in a limestone mountain range bordering Myanmar in northern Thailand, has proven to be a formidable challenge for the international rescue coalition drawing some of the world's best divers who have volunteered to help in the operation alongside Thai Navy SEALs
One cave explorer who has been inside the Tham Luang cave complex described it a "labyrinth", adding it was much more difficult to navigate than any he had experienced
The first, nearly one kilometre long section from where the boys have been huddling in darkness is believed to be the most difficult, requiring a long dive and crawling through mud and debris, with some crevices barely wide enough for a person
"The hole is really small, I have to take off my air tank to crawl through it," a 25-year-old Thai Navy SEAL who declined to be named, told Reuters before the rescue attempt
"As I do, I feel the edges of the hole on both my back and chest." The British Cave Rescue Council, which has sent seven divers to assist in the rescue, said the death of a former Thai Navy SEAL last Friday as he dived within the cave was a reminder of the risks
"This demonstrates in stark terms, the dangers associated with the cave environment, especially those characterised by long sections of passage with deep water or those entirely filled with water," the association wrote on its website
Once past that stretch, the boys' escape route forks east at a T-junction, and they must scrabble over some diverse terrain including giant boulders, sand and slippery rocks with sudden cliff-like drops and further submerged passageways
An underground operations centre has been set up in the so-called "cavern 3", after which there is a further two-kilometre journey to reach the mouth of the cave
The rescue team leader said that, in some of the larger caverns, extensive pumping had reduced water levels so that they were now walkable, even with the onset of fresh monsoon rain on Sunday
Falling oxygen levels, and with many of the boys not able to swim well, present further risks should they panic as they are guided slowly through the pitch-black waters
"It's very dark inside even with the spotlight," a former veteran SEAL, who had been recalled for this mission, said
"Most of the time we work with our instinct, in some position, alone in silence and in the dark
"

were there enemies up there? I'll wait then
it is dealing a lot of damage
and it's taking time to wear off. I don't think I can make it

I'd rather come back and stay alive

I think it was this way, maybe
or is this where the hollows are?
where is the bonfire? There was one, right?

The movie was very interesting. It definitely somethings that would not pass for today's standards.
It's funny and yet horribly offensive which is a really bad combination.
But funny to watch the same time.
It's kind of like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
That way.

Congratulations! You have been selected as part of a BeyondLife™ Personal Plan. You
are probably wondering what that means and we're excited to tell you! But first a brief
history lesson about the discovery that made this gift, and our company, possible.
On March 17th, 2037 the world's population, already at unsustainable levels, suddenly
jumped exponentially. But, no one noticed, because the new arrivals weren't new at
all, and weren't here in any conventional sense.
Physicists and computer scientists, attempting to digitize consciousness, discovered existing
patterns in the electromagnetic signals and cosmic background radiation all around us.
The software identified the patterns as conscious minds and researchers devised a way to communicate
with the immaterial entities they had discovered.
They learned that if the conditions were right, self-aware patterns of information could be
copied onto the very fabric of reality. Call it a spirit, a soul, or whatever you like,
the dead lived on as conscious data packets in flux, embedded in the quantum foam all
around us. The living were the minority and the dead had been here all along.
Contact had been made and humanity was suddenly faced with the astonishing fact that we are
not alone. We're minnows swimming on the surface of a sea of the dead and suburbanites
living on the outskirts of a thriving Necropolis. In a metaphorical sense, the auditorium lights
had came on and the living got a good look at the audience. It was huge and it wasn't
terribly interested in the living strutting and fretting their brief hour upon the stage.
While the dead took it in a stride, for the much smaller community of the living, the
sociological consequences were far reaching. The first few years were understandably chaotic,
government agencies and census bureaus had a lot of information to process, and judicial
systems had to dramatically reevaluate the concept of murder. Additionally, society at
large had to cope with a tragic mass exodus, as a large percentage of the population of
the living, fascinated by this little understood discovery, self-terminated, and the vast majority
of them were never heard from again. Because, sadly, it was immortality with conditions
and not all who died remained.
It was the way you died that mattered. Only those traumatized by their passing, returned.
Somehow, shock, pain, and horror, were the things that imprinted souls upon the material
plane. Peaceful deaths? Those that died in the night? Those minds, at peace, fragmented
and drifted away and their information was lost. This discovery, once identified, was
verified in laboratories around the world. When the passing was peaceful, minds and memories
broke apart like foam on a wave; nothing remained of the pattern. A peaceful death was a true
death.
That's where we come in and why we're reaching out to you with this message. If
you are reading this now, you originally died peacefully and your consciousness was lost.
Thankfully, someone in the future wants to meet you and this is your notification that
you have been chosen to be an unwilling participant in a BeyondLife™ Personal Plan. In the near
future, you will be executed in a novel and creative way, one specifically tailored to
maximize the amount of horror, agony and psychological trauma you will experience, thus guaranteeing
your immortality. Utilizing our patented BackCast™ messaging technology we'll send whispered
commands back in time to a susceptible psychotic individual in your area who will soon be excited
to make your acquaintance.
Also, while we are legally obligated to notify you that you have been selected as an unwilling
participant, we encourage you to treat this as an enjoyable fiction and for you to go
about your everyday routines as normal.
BeyondLife™ thanks you for your participation. We'll see you soon.
A huge thank you to Reddit user u/becauseisaidsotoo for letting me read this. The twisted humor
of this piece cracked me up, and the premise was simply amazing!
For anyone who enjoyed this story, be sure to check out becauseisaidsotoo on reddit where
they have posted lots more!
I'm Chris Herron, and that's it for today's Tall Tale TV.
