Missing Football Team Found Alive In Thailand Cave

 A missing 112 boys soccer team has been found alive by rescuers deep inside a partially flooded cave in northern Thailand late Monday. The boys were found a week after they disappeared. Chiang Rai provincial Gov. Narongsak Osatanakorn said the 13 were in the process of being rescued, but he cautioned that they were not out of danger yet.“We found them safe. But the operation isn’t over,” he said while commenting on the complicated process of extricating them. The boys, aged 11 to 16, and their 25-year-old coach, disappeared when flooding trapped them after entering the Tham Luang Nang Non cave on June 23.  Narongsak continued saying the divers located the missing about 300-400 meters (yards) past a section of the cave that was on higher ground and was thought to be where the team members and their coach may have taken shelter. “When the medics have evaluated the kids to see if their health is in good condition, we will care for them until they have enough strength to move by themselves, and then we will evaluate the situation on bringing them out again later,” Narongsak said.  Photo Credit: Getty
