FAN Editor

All 12 members of a youth soccer team and their coach were successfully  rescued from a cave in Thailand where they had been stranded for more than two weeks. 

Four boys were rescued by expert divers on Sunday, July 8; another four were freed Monday, July 9;  and the last four boys and their coach were brought to safety on Tuesday, July 10. 

Two divers were assigned to each child to help them navigate the dangerous, narrow passageways. Some were brought out on stretchers and all were taken to the hospital. 

“We are not sure if this is a miracle, a science, or what. All the thirteen Wild Boars are now out of the cave,” said a post on the Thai Navy Seals Facebook page, referring to the name of the boys’ soccer team. “Everyone is safe.”

Here, the boys covered in hypothermia blankets are seen in a still image taken from a July 3, 2018, video by Thai Navy SEAL, shortly after they were found alive but trapped deep underground.
