It’s reported that the boys and their coach wanted to explore a cave in northern Thailand following a soccer practice and when they failed to return members of the Thai Navy and Air Force were called in to locate them somewhere in the cave system.

The bikes were all found abandoned or left alone near the entrance of the cave, but as day turned to night it’s reported that the area was pounded by heavy rains.

This reportedly sent an extremely large amount a water into the Tham Luang Nang Non cave and thereby trapping them inside leaving them unable to escape.

It’s reported that a rescue team used water pumps managing to reduce the water level inside that allowed divers to place air tanks and guide ropes to search for the team.

It’s reported that Narongsak told reporters “In theory, human beings can last 30 days (without food) and we hope and believe that is the case. We all still have hope,” all reported by CBS News.

It’s reported that at first the boys would not be able to move their limbs indicating that medical teams would be able to treat them in place.

The rescue team  was set up in a manner of gathering rescue divers which also included a team of doctors.

It’s reported that Narongsak mentioned rescuers had reached the “Sam Yak” three-way junction of the cave stating “The [Navy SEAL] unit last night reached the T-junction and today they will press ahead to the left, but one obstacle we’ve found is a very small hole which we need to widen so that people can go through.”

He continued “This is today’s focus. The passage must be penetrated. It is very narrow. … They have not yet reached ‘the (Pattaya) beach.”
