I am going to need to clean up the previous thread but I don’t have time right now. Please do not link to private facebook accounts belonging to the divers or any other private social media accounts.

This shows how much gear the divers needed.

Eta this is not a private FB or Twitter page but DanJohnson News page (BBC journalist) who has posted this.

It’s so good to be starting a new thread knowing they are all out and being well cared for. It’s incredible how so many countries worked together to save these boys. I wonder if they yet realise the extent of the coverage their story has gotten.

Can you imagine wondering for days if you're going to make it out alive, then when you do you realize the whole world has been cheering for you? The whole thing would be surreal.

Wow... I just came across this: Richard Barrow in Thailand on Twitter

I'm sure it's been posted in the old thread but I hope you'll forgive this possible repeat. I'm now just having a chance to catch up on details. And just the fact that these people don't pack up and leave now, but stay behind to pump water off the fields they had to pump it onto... I *had* managed to keep my eyes dry but not anymore. I'm not crying, you're crying. What a happy day!

Even has its own wiki link now.

per the wiki link:

The healthiest boys were rescued first, as officials believed they would have the best chance of surviving the escape route first.[85]

So there is the answer as to how they decided to choose who went out first.

How about a shout-out to all the heroes
It's Finnish, though so here is the English translation. The tune has caught me.

J. Karjalainen - Sankarit lyrics + English translation

Heroes
Who are those heroes
That kind of heroes
Who are respected by the whole kingdom?
Who are those heroes
That kind of heroines
Who get their reward from real work?

[Refrain:]
We all are heroes
When we look at it the right way
We are heroes of life
Every one of us

Who are those heroes
That kind of heroines
Who are scared when it really matters?
Who are those heroes
That kind of heroes
Who beg for money in street corners?

[Refrain]

Who are those heroes
Movies' heroines
Who mesmerize everyone with their beauty?
Who are those heroes
That kind of heroes
Who push the weaker from their way?

[Refrain] (2x)

I wonder who paid for all of the oxygen for the tanks, the meals all of those people ate, and where did they all stay?

Hmmm... this is the source for that, where does it say the healthiest went out first? I may be half-blind, I'm very tired...

Reports about midway through the rescue stated that the king was paying for everything, I’ll see if I can dig it up.

Thai king paying for Saman’s funeral
Ex-SEAL Diver Who Died in Cave Rescue Attempt Was an Avid Runner, Cyclist

I’m almost positive it was a short video where a female reporter was showing the layout of the camp, food, journalist tents, makeshift barbershop where she said the king was paying for everything.

It could mean that the weakest needed to gain strength and nourishment.

I'll believe this when I hear it directly from the mouth of the Australian Doctor who made the decision in the cave. Until then, I think there are too many conflicting reports. There was a previous article that said the Australian Dr reversed the officials decision to send out the strongest first after he got in the cave and saw the condition of the weakest boys was not improving, and it said he sent the ones most in need of medical care first. I'll see if I can find that link.
