Cave Rescue

Most people in their heart of hearts did not think it was possible. Moreover a small country simply does not have the resources to mount a rescue more complex than anything thus far attempted in cave rescue history. Yet Thailand managed not only to bring remarkable teams from every discipline you can imagine to focus on a seemingly impossible challenge,  but also to attract the best cave divers from around the world, including and especially, the UK.

The rescue unharmed of all the trapped boys and their coach is an astonishing achievement and will always rank as one of the world’s greatest rescue dramas, nail biting until the final minute, when the last of the boys and their coach finally reached the surface safely. In a world where good news is in rather short supply just now, this was a heart warming moment.
