I'm not sure how much coverage this has gotten in the U.S. but the story of these 12 Thai boys and their coach that have gotten stranded in a cave has gained some significant traction in the media over here. It reminds of the Chilean Miners and what a wonderful story that turned out to be when all was said and done.

The team went into Tham Luang Nang Non to explore after a football game before heavy rain hit the area and the cave became flooded. The Monsoon season had been expected but it reportedly arrived earlier than expected. They retreated further down the cave system, getting stranded as the routes became flooded and they were reported missing - but were found alive and well ten days later by British divers.

The Thai government have been pumping water out of the cave whilst divers have been descending to drop off supplies whilst they figure out a way to extract the boys. Unfortunately, on July 5th, a former Thai Navy SEAL died on the return journey after dropping off oxygen supplies.

Today they started the rescue operation and so far so good! They've managed to pull four of the young boys out but the journey is said to be a long and difficult one so it's not expected that the rescue operation will be complete for some time yet.

Here's the full Wikipedia article for more information.

Here's hoping that everybody involved emerges safe and sound!

Absolutely crazy the scope of this rescue operation, and how successful they've been already. Hope they all get out alive. One rescuer already died when he ran out of oxygen.

What blows my mind even more is why the hell did this coach think it was a good idea to go cave exploring with what looks like no gear, no food, no clothes they are wearing fucking jerseys still. Darwin award goes to this guy. What an idiot.

RIP that military guy that died

Aye, aye, aye
Nowadays I'm too cool for a girlfriend
Nowadays I don't know when the world spins
Live your life like we die when the world ends
So it's alright every time we fuckin' break a sin
Nowadays shit's not the same
Life switch lanes, now these hoes act strange
And I lost my grip on the world in bliss
It's so, it's so
Aye, it's so lonely on the east side
I don't give a fuck, I keep it real I'm not gon' let it slide
Now she see me up, she let me fuck
Want me to cum inside?
Broski going dumb, hopped in the car, he said he down to ride
You a little pup, stop playing tough, ain't make no sacrifice
Yeah, smokin' cookie for my appetite
I don't trust nobody, people talking and be telling lies
We just wanna win and shock them all and catch 'em by surprise
I was saucin' down until we up and then we all rise, yeah
But niggas don't stick to the G-code, balling on my haters
I think that I'm stuck in beast mode
Make it through the foul run to the line and make the free throw
I think that I'm D. Rose, do 'em like I'm Deebo
Aye, but I like to fade away
I got these diamonds on me, and these bitches all in my face
And you wanna be a star, and you wanna win the race
But you cannot rock with me 'cause I was caught on the chase
Nowadays I'm too cool for a girlfriend
Nowadays I don't know when the world spins
Live your life like we die when the world ends
So it's alright every time we fuckin' break a sin
Nowadays shit's not the same
Life switch lanes, now these hoes act strange
And I lost my grip on the world in bliss
It's so, it's so
I think it's so damn strange what these people be saying
I can never even listen to a word that they say
I'm on the west side, that's the best side
By the cliff smoking blicks, that's the best high
And I got a shawty with the best eyes
Talking shit girl, why you putting up a fight?
I'm in my own world, far from the satellites
They want my information, they get no conversation
'Cause nowadays everybody calling
I need a manager 'cause I can't really fuck with nobody (I can't really fuck with nobody, so)
Aye, but I like to fade away
I got these diamonds on me, and these bitches all in my face
And you wanna be a star, and you wanna win the race
But you cannot rock with me 'cause I was caught on the chase
Nowadays I'm too cool for a girlfriend
Nowadays I don't know when the world spins
Live your life like we die when the world ends
So it's alright every time we fuckin' break a sin

This is a pretty cool story!

The effort put in to save those kids is really astonishing.
