Australian divers involved in the rescue told the Guardian on Wednesday that they had been moments away from disaster. Hours after the last Wild Boar was freed the main pump in the cave failed, and water levels started inching upwards, the divers said.
One said he heard screaming from deeper inside the cave. All these headlights start coming over the hill and the water was coming, he said. It was noticeably rising.
The remaining 100 workers inside the cave were frantically rushing to the exit and were safely out less than an hour later.

There were dozens, maybe more people still working in the caverns, bringing out the gear and finishing up the rescue missions. Then the pumps failed.....
