Football team trapped in Thai cave complex

[Shocky]

Does anyone know if the kids are diving positive pressure or non positive pressure AGA FFMs?

Can't imagine untrained and sedated kids using non-positive pressure FFMs.

Their website mentioned they brought over some "Heyphones".

Usually in complex caves like this, travel and logistics will be coordinated by telephone. I'd hope they have phone lines run through the length and phones at choke points and supply points. The Brits typically use a through-ground phone system, which works well in Britain, but don't know what they have here.

I just saw a report that said Dr Harris recommended taking out the weakest first. Since he is one of the rescue divers, I suspect he brought out the weakest ones first.

It appears that I was right.

Yep, heyphone, molephone, the brits have been using through-ground phones for years. They're also starting to use the newer Nicolas, expensive but really good when you can connect up the antennas. All good stuff, but nothing beats a copper connection (once the line is run).

Just looked up the info on the Heyphone, and they've apparently gone out of style. They'll still work but are recomending Nicolas or the swiss data phone (the name escapes me) for new builds.

Yep, read the note at the bottom.

On CBS news last night, it was reported that the 25-year old coach was one of the first four to be brought out (he was one of the weakest because he had been giving his shares of food & water to the boys). I haven't heard this reported anywhere else though, and I consistently see that four boys + the coach are still inside the cave.

Has anyone heard definitively either way? It's not really important, I'm just curious.
