#Thai authorities confirm that #ThailandCaveRescue operation to save #Thaiboys has begun. 18 divers entered the cave complex. Speculation 4-6 boys will be rescued first but, it’s important to remember that authorities have not confirmed this. #ThamLuang smh.com.au/world/asia/liv…
Latest statement from Chiang Rai Gov. on #ThailandCaveRescue Rescue operation was started at around 10:00 PM. (Thai local time) Hopefully the kids will be brought out one by one. We'll get the updated info later after 9:00 PM. #ThamLuang #Thamluangcave #Thailandcave #Thailand
It’ll take at least 12 hours with 18 officials to help every way possible. Expected time for the first boy to come out is at least 9 pm today. #ถ้ำหลวง #13ชีวิตรอดเเล้ว #ThailandCaveRescue #ThamLuang
Rescue crews: The most challenging and dangerous part for the divers and each boy will be the first 90 minutes or so. Several passage ways are complex and require underwater movements around corners. Entire effort will take 4 hours. #ThaiCaveRescue #Thaiboys #ThamLuangRescue
Rescue crew team includes 13 international divers and five Thai navy Seals. “We can say they are all international all stars involved in this diving operation and we selected five of our best who can work with them,” Osatanakorn said. #ThaiCaveRescue #Thaiboys #thamlaungcave
The main difficulty during the #CaveRescue is a “choke point” at the very beginning of thier journey #13ชีวิตรอดเเล้ว #13survived #ThaiCaveRescue #ThamLuangRescue #ThaiCaveBoys
#UPDATE : Child-size diving masks used in the rescue of the trapped boys in the #Thai cave, according to local rescue team #ThaiCaveRescue #ThamLuang #13ชีวิตติดถ้ํา #13survivers #ThaiCave #ThaiCaveBoys #Thaiboys
I guarantee #13survivers are very fit physically/mentally. They are determined/focused. #Thaiboys and their families have been informed before the mission started. When asked if all families have approved, he said “no”. But he said they “understand”.- Governor #ThaiCaveRescue
#UPDATE: An Australian doctor went all the way through to the cave yesterday to give the boys a medical tick of approval, and cleared them for rescue today before coming out. AFP says he is currently a part of the rescue. #ThaiCaveRescue #ThamLuangRescue
Note: It is highly unlikely all the boys and their coach would be rescued today, due to the complex and intricate nature of the cave. If rescues have indeed started it may take several days. #Thaiboys #ThaiCaveRescue #ThamLuang #13ชีวิตรอดแล้ว #ThamLuangRescue #13survivors
#UPDATE : Good update from officials - less rain than expected, no problem with electricity inside caves, water levels has been going down continually. Everything is looking good so far. #ThaiCaveRescue #ThamLuang #ThailandCaveRescue #Thaiboys #13ชีวิตต้องรอด #ThamLuangRescue
MEDICAL UPDATE: Medical staff involved say their first assessments will focus on #Thaiboys breathing, hypothermia signs & airborne lung infection(cave disease) which is caused by bat/bird droppings & can be fatal if untreated. #ThaiCaveRescue #ThamLuang abc.net.au/news/2018-07-0…

Recap: Official count is FOUR boys are out of the #thamlaungcave (not six as some - earlier reported). That’s all for today. We could all take a pause. No need to refresh Twitter for updates. For now, let’s take a breather. 🙏🏻#ThaiCaveRescue #thamluangcaverescue #ThamLuang
Day 2 : #ThaiCaveRescue - Operation to evacuate the remaining 9 people trapped began at 11am and is expected to end by 9pm, says mission chief. #ThamLuang #Thaiboys #ThailandCaveRescue #thamluangcaverescue #ThaiNavySEAL

HAPPENING NOW: “The 4 rescued boys from Wild Boar Academy are doing well in Chiang Rai hospital, said they were hungry this morning and requested spicy basil pork.”🐗 - Rescue operation chief Narongsak on #ThaiCaveRescue #ThamLuang #WildBoars #ThailandCaveKids ☺️
PSA: Despite all the rumours and speculation here in Chiang Rai and worldwide, the names of the boys out of the cave have not been released. Authorities say that is “out of respect” for their families. Anything else until confirmed is conjecture. 🤫🤐#ThaiCaveRescue #ThamLuang
Day 2 Update: Earlier today, teachers and school mates of 6 of the 13 in the #ThamLuangCave are introducing themselves to the press today at the Mae Sai Prasitsart School. #ThaiCaveRescue #ThamLuang #WildBoars #Thaiboys #ThaiCaveBoys
#ThaiCaveRescue Day 2 Update: (1/2) A good friend of some of Wild Boar Academy players trapped in #ThamLuang , Warangchit or Chew, said that he went into the cave 4 times and even went beyond where the 13 survivors have been stranded for more than 2 weeks. #thamluangrescue
Day 2 Update: #ThaiCaveRescue (2/2) Chew's a good friend of 3 of the 12 boys - Dom, Mick & Pong. He said their favourite football teams include Real Madrid & Liverpool ⚽ When they return to school, he wants to resume their same routine: eating and playing football at lunchtime.
Officials said that #Thaiboys released from the cave have not yet been reunited with their parents. Awaiting results of blood tests for serious infections (leptospirosis/meliodosis). If they do see parents before results they must be 1-2 meters apart. #ThamLuang #ThaiCaveRescue
Day 2 Update #ThaiCaveRescue All rescued boys will be in isolation for 1-2 days, inside a sterilized isolation unit, meaning no physical contact w their parents. A heartbreaking, necessary precaution at a time when all these kids and parents want to do is give one another a hug.
Day 2 Update: Richard Harris, the Adelaide doctor and cave diving expert helping to rescue the soccer boys trapped in a #ThamLuangCave was on holidays when he was asked to help. #ThaiCaveRescue adelaidenow.com.au/news/world/ade…
