Uncalled for tbh, the poster is obviously a Musk detractor and at an inappropriate time which sucks but of course most people's contributions to society are going to pale in comparison to a billionaire inventor, that doesn't mean they are somehow comparitiely worth less in society like your comment insinuates.
Show us where Elon touched you.
Seriously, how can you be so salty?
He is rich, he has companies that could help and that's what he/they did. Imagine Plan #1 didn't work, what then?
Hindsight is 20/20 of course so now you talk shit about the "Miracle Pod Plan".
What did you do to help?
And wow at the community pool part. Are they supposed to build their own caves? Time was of essence here.
So on topic: I'm glad they didn't need a second plan. At least not for now.
The kids parents already said they do not blame the coach. This cave thing the team does is a regular thing and they went prior to monsoon season so he has no reason to be treated badly. Thankfully it sounds like Thailand as a whole are not blaming him.
We don't know why many decisions are made (which is fine...we don't need as we have Experts making them to the very best of their ability) but it looks like timetables were moved up rapidly following the measurement of oxygen levels and the incoming storm. I'm not sure I get the criticism of someone who looks to genuinely want to help with the massive tech resources at their disposal. Yes, he'll get some PR from it but if his devices can potentially help then we should be focused on the part about potentially saving lives. There are still 9 trapped with rain pouring down and an 8 hour wait until resources can be put in place for the next extraction attempt. Anything can happen and all potential resources need to continue to be brought in even if the rescue efforts have begun.
Also, can people also stop making statements of fact based on rumor and hearsay? We don't know if they brought out the weakest or strongest or anything in between first unless confirmed by an official source. Yes, some rumor might be correct and, yes, you'll win the internet by posting it in a random gaming forum first but the reality is you are guessing.
Sorry, I've never seen that show
I mean its an old meme from our community

Each child is being accompanied by two divers, there's also guide lines and I would assume lights to help them. Presumably having multiple expert divers who have been back and forth through the areas multiple times over the past week right there with you is tremendously helpful. Also the lower water level makes it sound a lot less treacherous than before.
(Which is not to say it's easy or not dangerous because it's still super dangerous!)
lol I've never seen the thread or the meme either, I am very out of the loop!
Just woke up it's incredible to hear that 4 boys have been rescued it warms my heart is there more reports on the other boys?
They stopped for the night so the divers can rest and the oxygen tanks in the cave can be replaced for the next trip
All right sounds good they don't tu rush this and need all the time they can get, thank you for the asnwer
They did officially state that they took the strongest first, I believe.
If you don't KNOW that from an official source then don't post it as true. It might be, but saying it as a Fact without Knowing it is irresponsible and derailing.
I take it it makes no difference in terms of visibility between night time and day time so they can probably be going continuously?
Time of day will obviously have no effect in any decision, it doesn't matter at all.
So glad they have gotten some of them out. An incredible effort. Hopefully the rest don't have to wait too long, but the weather is obviously an uncontrollable factor.
I hope the family of the deceased navy diver are well looked after.

Visibility due to the time of day doesn't matter, but they have a finite number of divers (especially ones that speak the actual language) and a finite number of oxygen tanks.
that diver is a national, arguably international hero for giving his life to save others.
There could be effects related to temperature/humidity/barometric pressure, the moon affecting the water table, etc., all impacting time of day on optimal rescue conditions.
Washington Post did a story on him
https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...61896f90919_story.html?utm_term=.c08a5f31d49b
While mistakes were made I dont agree how some on here are vilifying him. And if the parents have forgiven him who are you to hold a grudge.

It's unfortunate someone reported it 6 that had been evacuated when it was really 4, but still amazing news the 4 are out and safe now.
Hope news that they made it out successful gets back to the ones still there, will be an amazing morale boost.

Happy to see that 4 of the kids are out and reunited with their families at the hospital. Everyone involved in the rescue operation is a hero as far as I'm concerned.
Just caught up on the thread, last I heard the rescue operation was underway. So glad to see four boys got out and are in the hospital, I cannot fathom what it would be like to step out of the cave onto grass and see my family after nearly two weeks. Here's hoping the other 9 can get out safely as well.
he kept them alive down there, things like this happen, I don't know why people need villans and blames
My heart would actually sink a little if I read "six kids rescued so far" because the first group was 4 and all the rest are groups of 3.
This cannot be stated enough, the coach is a fucking hero.
Regardless of whether the initial decisions where wrong when the water first came in (I assume they were all split second with a frightened group to consider), he kept them all alive. Hungry and in the dark
Don't think I could have have done that
Very good news. Especially if it's true that they were able to get the weakest kids out first. That's a fantastic sign.
I can't imagine having to make those decisions. Did he know the cave well enough to know that going further in would lead to higher ground rather than doom them all? If the cave maps we've seen are somewhat accurate they'd have to go down before coming up to the spot where they now are. If he didn't actually know the cave layout, he took a wild chance and was VERY lucky. It could have easily just continued down, or become too narrow to proceed any further, and they'd all be dead.
I think it turned out to be the other way around. They helped the healthiest kids out first.
I'm sure I read an official statement saying the opposite. Can't find it now though.
Wow, just caught this piece of news. Excellent! Hopefully this will give the ones trapped inside hope knowing that they already have 4 friends that made it out alive! Hang in there!
Still not over with the salty Elon Musk talk?
Come on, he didn't do anything wrong in this case. He actually tries to help with all his big team of engineers and his money.
That they didn't go with his plan now because it's untested and time is very much of the essence and the conditions for rescue were as good as it gets today. But it's always essential to have a few plan Bs if a sudden monsoon starts and they can't dive out like that anymore.
That image above is completely dumb because he doesn't take credit for anything about the current rescue operation and applauds all the helpers at the location for their bravery.

Ah, I see where this was disputed now, thanks. This is a hard thread to follow.
Well, that plan honestly makes the most sense. I was surprised to read they took out the weaker kids first.
Yeah it's about 2:40 am in Thailand. Should be hearing more when they resume the rescue efforts tomorrow.
