She makes it sound like there is no possible way those kids will be rescued, and she's wrong about at least four of them.

and yes, it sounds like an impossible task, and yet they have saved four youngsters, in spite of the massive effort and obstacles involved...the skill and finesse involved in their rescue is even more breathtaking when the unbelievable enormity of the rescues comes into focus -

You know what, I think I’ll delete her link- I do not doubt she knows what she’s talking about, but knowing what’s actually involved is either too real, or too intense, or both-

Boys will come out in groups of four, says Australian foreign minister

The Australian foreign minister Julie Bishop said in a TV interview on Monday morning she believed the boys would be brought out in groups of four, meaning at least two more operations.

Australia has sent a team of 19 to support the dangerous rescue mission being led by Thai authorities and Australian divers were part of yesterday’s successful rescue operation, Bishop said.

There are reports circulating that one of the four people rescued last night was the coach, 25-year-old Ekapol Chanthawong.

People have speculated that he was removed from the cave because he was unwell, due to the fact he gave the boys all the food to eat while they waited for rescuers to find them.

Michael Safi, our south Asia correspondent, who is on the ground in Mae Sai, says this is not confirmed.

According to the Guardian’s translation of last night’s press conference, the head of the operation mentioned that “four kids” had been rescued, so that is our best information at this time. However, our reporters are looking into it and will bring you more information as soon as they can confirm it.

I cannot imagine what he is going through, as well as the boys.

I loved that one tweet - “For the first time in history, the entire world is rooting for the same football team.”

Best of luck Thailand!
