    Brilliant work by the divers,the kids owe a special thank you to the Thai farmers who sacrificed also,and the guy who brought the heavy pumps to divert the water,factor in the food contribution and unselfish attitude of the local communities who did what they could in the smallest way that was available to them,humanity at its best,isn't life so much better when ego and pride are pushed aside.

    Thanks for highlighting all the effort and manpower it took to save the 13 trapped people. It was a truly inspiring event of courage and selflessness. I've had people ask why do I dive, why would someone cave dive, it's the drive to explore that builds the skills and experience that has often been vital in a crisis. Be safe

    Just a minor correction that it was the coach and the boys who chose and volunteer which one wanted to get out first and so on. It was Dr. Harris ‘s dive buddy who clarified this issue. There was a kinda naively funny story from the boys during the press conference today that they try to choose those who live farther away from the cave to go out first. They thought it was quite a distance for them to ride their bike back home!

  • @Sebernica

    Hi Jill, I'm Thai. At 8:10, you mentioned Dr Richard Harris went in to the cave and stayed with the kids. In fact, Dr Harris never stayed with the kids. He just went in and then, out just like most of the divers. There's a Thai doctor. He went through SEAL training and has SEAL certificate. In Thai, we call him "Superman Doctor". His name is Dr. Pahk Loharnshoon (The guy that we saw in one of the video clips; gave children first aid). He's the doctor who stayed with the kids (along with the other 3 SEAL members) since July 3rd, until the mission is over (about 9 days). Also, Dr Richard never make decision as to who should come out first. It's the coach who made decision. The funny is the coach mentioned in the press conference that his decision based on the distance of each kids' home. The kid lives the farthest got a chance to get out first because the coach thought the kids would have to bike their ways back. ...... The fact about swimming ability too, turned out to be all kids can swim. So, what we've heard from the press, most are wrong.

    • @alanpattinson6211
      @alanpattinson6211 Год назад

      Dr Harris sedated all the children at the point they were found, that is his area of expertise and the reason he was asked to come by Rick Stanton.

  • @omgwth7567
    @omgwth7567 6 лет назад +2

    but let me correct some minor facts.
    1. the coach and the kids queued up themselves for being dived out of the cave.
    2. finally we knew all the kids can swim but never learn to dive.
    thanks you this world for all your helps and your supportive comments. God bless.🙇🙏😘

  • @SingDanceKC
    @SingDanceKC Год назад +1

    The kids weren't semi-conscious, they were knocked out completely as it was determined that was the only way they could be moved safely. None of the kids or coach remember a thing about the journey out. However at the time, Dr Harris, (who was sedating them) did not think it would really work, but there was no other choice.

      Bangtan- Rick the British diver in another video explains none of the boys recall any of the trip out of the dangerous cave. None were conscious. It would have been dangerous to the divers and the boys IF the boys were conscious as they may have panicked and tried pulling their face masks off etc.

  • @fhodnett7128
    @fhodnett7128 6 лет назад +1

    Hi Jill,
    Good video
    Just a couple of things that I feel need correcting.
    The main voice in the video is John not Rick, Rick can be heard saying "There all alive" in the clip you showed but it is John who is asking the questions.
    The kids themselves decided on the order which they came out not doctor "Harry" Harris.
    Doctor Harris was called in to sedate the kids, that part of the plan had already been decided. The Australian government agreed immunity for prosecution from the Thai government for any death caused by sedation before Harry and Craig had even landed in Thailand. So he did not come up with that part of the plan, he was brought in to do that part of the plan.
    The coach was the 9th person out, not the last.
    The last diver out of cave 9 was one of the Thai Navy Seals who are as yet unidentified.
    The last pump failed once all the thai divers ( from inside cave 9 ) had made it to cave 3, where the conditions were not great but a that point there was no more diving to be done, and at least 2 hours after the last kid had left the cave

    Also if possible I would watch ABC Australia "Four Corners: Out of the Dark" documentary about the rescue. ( Not available on youtube, but is on ABC iView ) In it is a very in depth interview with Jason Mallinson ( Rescue diver who brought 4 of the boys out, the other 3 rescue divers only brought 3 out. He went back on the last day and did a second rescue dive and brought out the last kid). Also Craig Challen talks about his and Dr Harris involvement. Very informative

  • @HoosierRallyMaster
    @HoosierRallyMaster 6 лет назад +1

    Thank you for these insights. I never saw a story address whether these caves (and the boys' specific refuge) were already well mapped by local cavers in dry season. Do you have any knowledge about this?

    • @messrsandersonco5985
      @messrsandersonco5985 2 года назад

      They are well mapped and a tourist attraction. The group leader ought not have gone into the cave during the wet season. In Asia, we don't have seasons like IN Europe. We only have wet and dry seasons. The wet season comes with wind and typoon-type storms which are relatively unpredictable. The downpours we experience don't happen in Europe. They're essentially a major cloud dump in a very short time, and we don't always have adequate drainage for the speed of the rain.

  • @messrsandersonco5985
    @messrsandersonco5985 2 года назад +1

    You are a wonderful communicator! Thank you for your insights. I love in a neighbouring country and know the events well but you offer an insight into the divers' decisions. None of the boys was able to swim so their sedation was an absolutely genius idea. Sadly, two Thai military personnel died in total. One died in situ in chamber 3 (the retired navy seal) and another from an infection which got into his blood a year later. There is scant news about his death.

    • @JillHeinerth

  • @savannahbanks
    @savannahbanks 2 года назад

    What’s your opinion on the monitor used to show low oxygen? I’ve heard Challon say there was no low oxygen risk as the flowing water would act as replenishment of oxygen and co2 would be dissolved and whisked away by the flow.

    • @JillHeinerth
      @JillHeinerth  2 года назад

      Assuming that you are asking about the oxygen level in the chamber... an enclosed underground space with running water can only support a certain number of people until they start using up oxygen and start causing carbon dioxide to build up. The moving water replenishes some of the oxygen, but at one point early in the rescue, they discovered they had too many people back there and had to reduce numbers.

    I'm firmly of the opinion that this worked because of the willingness of so many to say "I have no idea how to tackle that, lets see if we can find someone from somewhere who knows more about it than me". The combination of so many with so much knowledge and skill, is the only reason we (humanity) got away with it.

    Why Ben and Maks whom lay the most of the line and where the first involved have neyther mentioned nor given any credit.
    Acording to other versions these british divers arrived when the perspectives of succeding got better and just made de "glorious" dive, using the line that was allready installed all the way close to the place were the kids were.
    Just curious

    • @richardstanton9231
      @richardstanton9231 3 месяца назад +1

      It should be noted that all the line laying activity from the dive base located in Chamber 3, towards the boys, was accomplished from the early hours of Sunday 1st June until John & I located the boys on the Monday evening (2nd June); thus a period of 44 hours. The boys had been missing for nine days by this point.
      This operation was conducted by the Thai Navy SEALs , Ben & Maksym, then John & I. Each of whom were operating as a line laying team, progressing forward from the previous team's furthest point of penetration. There were six line laying dives that advanced the main line towards the boys. In sequence these were conducted in this order SEALs, Ben, SEALs , us (U.K), Ben, us.
      The total distance between Ch 3 & the boys was 1507m, there was of course one continuous guide line through this passage. John & I laid 935 metres, Ben laid 253 metres, & the Thai SEALs were responsible for 319 metres. This has all been measured after the cave had drained.
      So yes, Ben & Maksym played an integral part during this stage of operation, but it certainly cannot be implied that most of the line was laid before we became involved, nor that Ben was responsible for the greater overall majority; as you have inaccurately stated.
      Furthermore, three days before the commencement of the main line advancement Thursday the 28th, John & I were laying line in shorter flooded sections up to Ch 3 where we encountered & subsequently rescued the 4 trapped pump workers.

      No the first team was the Thai Navy seals so you are incorrect as well. The first one to actually go into the cave was actually British caver Vern Unsworth. He made it all the way into the t-junction where the first base of operation was set up. However when the cave started to flood they were forced to retreat. The Thai navy seals were the first to make the dive into the cave. The Thai Navy seals also laid line as well but that seems to be forgotten

    How did the idiotic buggers get that far into the cave to begin with? How the hell did they survive for two weeks? Nobody talks about these things. And what happened to the coach that led them there? Did he face any consequences for his reckless behavior? We lost a life trying to save these fools. I hope they never forget that they owe their lives to this world of good people.

    • @Talaramama
      @Talaramama Год назад

      Lol ur one of the many few who make sense. They jeopardised many people lives just by entering there …they’re reckless. But kids do that all the time so they had to be saved. And blaming the coach might drive him to suicide so no point doing so really…

    • @cherrytraveller5915
      @cherrytraveller5915 Год назад +1

      They were forced that far in when the cave flooded even further which caused them to retreat to higher ground. How did they survive? They had food with them which they did eventually get through but they were also drinking water that was flowing in through the roof of the cave. What happened to the coach? absolutely nothing and so that is what should have happened. The coach kept those kids calm and showed them how to get water. He even gave up his own food to those kids. Here is the thing that most people don't realise when they entered the cave it had been a lovely day and it was still a month away from the monsoon rains falling. What they didn't know that on the other side of the mountain rain was falling heavily which then started to flow into the cave just as they were leaving. All of this was just incredibly bad luck and that is it. Vern Unsworth was due to make a solo exploration into the cave the following day after the boys became trapped. He is an expert on the cave and was the one who actually mapped it. It does show how sudden this all happened. The coach has been punished enough already and the parents certainly don't blame him for all that happened
