Thai official says rescued boys ‘safe and conscious’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe official heading the Thai cave rescue operation says the four boys brought out of the flooded cave by divers today are “safe and conscious” and now in a hospital.
Chiang Rai acting Gov. Narongsak Osatanakorn also tells a news conference that high-stakes rescue efforts today took less time than on Sunday because of the experience accumulated and more people involved.
Eight of the 13 trapped people — a total of 12 boys and their 25-year-old soccer coach — have now been rescued.
Narongsak says he’s not sure if the remaining five people will be extracted in one or more operations.
He says Thailand’s prime minister, who visited the cave site today, has gone to visit all eight boys in the hospital.
