The Tham Luang Cave Rescue (Part 2)

It's a long one today, guys! Today we pickup where we left off, the 12 boys & their coach being discovered alive after 10 days trapped in a cave with no food, and limited oxygen. Finding them was the easy part, compared to bringing each one out safely. It took almost a week to settle on a plan, & when they did, their best bet had a probable 80% fatality rate. But the heroic actions of the hundreds of rescuers involved would give the boys & their coach a better chance than anyone could've thought. Be sure to check out 'The Boys in the Cave' by Matt Gutman, where I got a ton of information about this case. If you read the whole book, you'll get an even more in depth take on this rescue mission.

The Tham Luang Caving Disaster (Part 1)

Welcome back! In today's episode, we are discussing Thailand's Tham Luang Cave. In 2018, 12 school boys & their coach became trapped inside when a freak storm rolled in and flooded their only exit. In part 1, we discuss some background about the boys, their soccer team, the town they lived in (Mae Sai) and then the first 10 days of this rescue effort. We are doing a deep dive while also trying to keep it light with a couple of laughs throughout. If you're interested in cave diving and/or claustrophobia inducing tales, you'll enjoy this video.
