‘Not Working’ – Doubts Raised Over Cave Rescue Plan


Celebrity twin rescuers said Thursday that it’s too dangerous to bring 13 people out through the cave’s entrance, suggesting finding or making a rescue shaft might be a better option.

Anxiety is running high over the fate of the group which has been trapped inside the Luang Khun Nam Nang Non cave in Chiang Rai province since June 23. Although flooding is a major obstacle and storms are expected soon, officials for now seem intent on a lowering water levels enough for them to come out the way they came.

But the star representative of a major rescue foundation said that, after four days, it’s “not working.”

  1. I haven't heard any commentary about why they went into the cave. I wish the rescue team the best of luck, but the best way to fix a problem is to avoid it in the first place.
