All 12 boys, soccer coach finally rescued from Thailand cave

Thailand Navy SEALs say all 12 boys and their coach have been rescued from a flooded cave, ending an ordeal that lasted more than 2 weeks.


Chiang Rai Gov. Narongsak Osatanakorn said Tuesday's intricate and high-risk operation began just after 10 a.m. and involves 19 divers. A medic and three Thai Navy SEALs who have stayed with the boys on a small, dry shelf deep in the flooded cave will also come out, he said.


The eight boys brought out by divers over the previous two days are in "high spirits" and have strong immune systems because they are soccer players, a senior health official said.

Doctors were being cautious because of the infection risk and were isolating the boys in the hospital.
