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

I think Elon Musk must be on the CR. He actually has proposed 2 of the ideas mentioned here.
He suggested inflatable tubing (regular tubes as Kollelman suggested would not work as the tunnel curves and dips and narrows) to be used as a tunnel. That idea does not seem to have gone anywhere.
Now he is sending a mini kid-size submarine to help get the kids thru the submerged areas. The Thai officials think it could work, so he was testing it in California and then sending it on a 17h flight to Thailand.
Originally, I sarcastically shared what I thought was my kids’ ridiculous idea of using a submarine as an example of why we should leave the rescue plans to the experts on the scene. Irony is on me, apparently.
