On request of the Thai government "van Heck"  ( a pump service company )  is ask to evaluate  the option to pump the water out, Jeroen van Heck, the director of the company, is scheduled to arrive in Thailand on Saturday, where he will evaluate what equipment the company needs to send to help clear out areas of the cave that are currently underwater. Once Van Heck has determined which pumps and manpower the emergency operation will need, a number of employees from the Frisian company will travel to Thailand to set up them up.

2 previous projects

Somerset UK  with 133,800 m3/hour  

Kolubara Mine Serbai  a total of 150.000.000 m3 water removed from the mine.

Edit: Seems there are 18 pump's  spare at the cave, the problem is the water at the end off the cave, what is needed is a pump that can be taken trough the small passes in the cave.

 

 

Van Heck is sending special material to Thailand,  that is working on the same principal as what is used to take fuel out off a car (putting a tube in the petrol/water and apply vacuum on the other end) , should arrive Monday, so there is a plan B, if diving all kids out is not working.

Strange that none of the major news networks in the west have reported any of the boys have made it out. Yet there all apparently giving live updates

[Bobmoore]

Various contradictory reports are circulating regarding the emergence of two of the boys.

Reuters says, citing a local official, that the first two members of the Thai football team have been recovered from the Cave.

ITV’s John Irvine says that a local police chief has just told him that two of the boys are out of the Cave complex. They are apparently safe and reasonably well.

The Bangkok Post, meanwhile, says the first 2 boys are on their way to the entrance of the Cave suggesting that they have completed the swim and are now walking through the chambers.

The Guardian cannot confirm any of these reports.

I do apologise for the old news master.

Seems there is some "obstacle" to the progression of boy #4... 

 

 

Edit: 19:20: Boys #4, #5 and #6 are said to have reach chamber #3. That means No More Diving! just some walk to the exit of the Cave, thanks to the huge work made pumping and diverting water.

 

Edit: 19:36: #4 out of the the Cave

First group was 4 boys. 3 other groups are 3 boys.

Sorry, I appreciate the sentiment, but the recipients of the world cup is predestined...the world cup wants to come home just as much as the boys do, so lets be fair

The US president Donald Trump has suddenly announced that his government are working closely with the Thai government to help evacuate the Cave.

He paid tribute to unspecified “Very brave and talented people!” in what is thought to be his first public comment with regards to the Thai Cave rescue operation.

Didn't read anything about that.

The Governor is doing a press conference right now.

He said that the 4 first boys who are already at the Chiang Rai hospital are safe and well.

[Bobmoore]

Four boys confirmed rescued with another operation planned in 10 hours

The boys travelled 1km underwater with the first coming out at 5:40pm local time.

The operation chief, Narongsak Osottanakorn, says four out of the 12 boys have so far been rescued and were taken straight to hospital

Rescue workers now need 10 hours to prepare for the next stage of this remarkable operation.

[Oukiva]

From the Governor conference:

It seems that the rescue mission is suspended until early tomorrow morning 

Something to do with the number of air tanks used by the first groups of divers+boys...

I understand that SEAL divers will have to bring back out all used tanks, fill them again, and carry them again along the path in the cavern...

Rescue mission should be resumed tomorrow morning.

Only 4 have been brought to hospital. Unsure about what they will do from others that have emerged/arrived already ??
