Reply To: Anyone have any ideas for how to get the Thai boys out of the cave?!?!

Yes Health, they need a back-up plan, it remains to be seen if they can get the remaining 9 out the same way.
But by the time they clear the jungle and blast out the rocks to make the roads that can bring in the trucks and borers and whatever else they need, and then dig down for half a kilometer, it could be months- by then they may just be able to walk out, as the rains would have ended, assuming that they have not gotten flooded out of their safe zone or run out of oxygen by then. The point is that they need a back-up plan that can be implemented now, because their chances get slimmer as time passes.
