First boys emerge in Thailand cave rescue

[monson]

UNCONFIRMED Thai media reports say at least two boys have emerged from a flooded cave system after successfully negotiating the difficult channels with the assistance of rescue divers.

If correct, the boys have emerged some two hours earlier than anticipated.

Another boy is believed to be resting and recovering near the cave entrance.

The boys were expected to have been examined in a specially prepared chamber after the hardest legs of the cave evacuation had been completed. Here they were to prepare their eyes for daylight after some two weeks underground before the final leg.

Local media is reporting the sound of sirens and helicopter engines starting, though local police recently said the method of the boys transport to hospital will depend on the weather.

Two boys from the trapped soccer team have been successfully rescued from the flooded cave where they had been holed up for more than two weeks, a local Thai official told Reuters Sunday.

"Two kids are out. They are currently at the field hospital near the cave," Tossathep Boonthong, chief of Chiang Rai's health department, told the wire service.

Six Thai schoolboys rescued from flooded cave

CHIANG RAI, Thailand (Reuters) - Six of 12 schoolboys have been rescued so far from a flooded Thai cave after divers launched a daring and dangerous mission to free the children and their soccer coach, who were trapped underground for more than two weeks, Thai officials said.

"I have received information that six have exited the cave", a senior member of the rescue team told Reuters.

Thirteen foreign divers and five members of Thailand's elite navy SEAL unit are trying to bring the rest of the boys - some as young as 11 and weak swimmers – through narrow, submerged passageways that claimed the life of a former Thai navy diver on Friday.

A helicopter flew some of the boys to the nearby city of Chiang Rai where they were taken by ambulance to hospital.
