What great news to wake up to! I was hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. After learning about this ordeal, this is the best possible outcome and one of the best happy endings I have ever heard.
Kudos to the rescuers, volunteers, divers and engineers who made this all possible. And a special Kudos to the Thai government who used their time and resources to make sure the best possible outcome was accomplished. Great leadership shown by them, and as strange as it sounds it makes me want to visit Thailand more then ever.
And the coach is most definitely a hero. That cave is used by many people during dry season and if it wasn't the team and coach trapped, it very well could have been someone else. 12 boys went in alive, and 12 came out alive. Imagine being trapped in darkness for weeks with a dwindling food and water supply, no beds or toilets, not knowing if you will ever make it out alive, and the lives of 12 young boys in your hands.
The guy is 100% a hero, and shame on anyone who argues otherwise.
