Come to see us on Kata beach
God Bless you Eric Brown from Canada, I knew there had to be a Canadian amongst the rescuers! We are proud to be Canadian🇨🇦. God Bless all the rescue divers, the Doctors who went in, all those who engineered the plan to take the the boys and their coach safely out of the cave, the Authorities and Army, as well as all those who made food, thousands of volunteers, the media, the Helicopters and Ambulances and all the Drs. and Nurses taking care of everyone in the hospital. God Bless their Parents, Grandparents and Families. And most of all Thank You Father God for hearing and answering our prayers from the world with Holy Spirit giving them wisdom and knowledge in how to rescue this team and their Coach In Jesus Name and Glory Amen. Let us NEVER forget the incredible difficult journey to bring these 13 people to safety.
Glory to our God forever and ever🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
THANK YOU FATHER👑❤️🙏🔥👑
Are you truly oblivious to the fact that Thailand is a Buddhist nation and have no belief in your ‘jesus’? How insensitive and offensive can one be?
No Gandalf, Love promotes harmony. Don't be mean spirited.

Great footage btw.
Thanks Erik for your help to make this rescue possible. You are real hero. There are probably 10k people involved including private citizens who donated their time, money, equipment (water pumps). You guys are all hero that make this successful. Cannot thank you enough. You are part of this great history.
Using some sort of high tech version of IR eyeglass diving in dark and muddy water might help.
We are ONE. Let's use this model and focus cooperation among nations and people to solve other big issues facing us all.
You are God sent. thank you all for systematic and organised move.

Bravo!!! You guys are great team. Thai people feel deep gratitude for you being so brave and dedicated to help the kids.
That's so cute :) I don't mean that in a condescending way at all, I just love the response to finding out there's a Canadian there. Canada, being Canada will always show 100% support to anything like this, just because that's who you are, regardless of if you're involved or not, but the response to then finding out you had a hand in it, I just love it :) Makes me smile.
You're a beautiful country Canada! Don't ever change :) & great job with your person in the rescue team too. Lots of love, Australia
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Incredible feat by the elite divers and rescue team. Hats off to all of them!!! It looked like mission impossible but they made it possible...
real life hero's .. just respect them..
When I see the rescuers from different parts of the world trying hard to save the life of these kids I am more assured that we are all in a safe planet and there are many people to extend their love and lay down their lives for us. Good, congrats and thanks to all the rescuing teams.
Been following this story since they first went missing, this is absolutely remarkable. God bless every person who had a hand in this operation. From the divers, doctors, volunteers and everyone else. Heroes!!!!!
Thank you Canada.From all people in Thailand.
you are superb!!!👍👍👍Thank so much from 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭⚽️⚽️⚽️Thailand
What does the Thai words at 6:38 say? At the top of the writing board?
congratulation for whole rescue teams ,,....live long all of u......i heartily welcome of them
Thank you Eric!...Thank you Canada!...
Truly Mission Impossible accomplished.
U.K. team who masterminded the whole operation”,says Canadian Diver Eric Brown

The British volunteers globally recognized as the best cave divers today. Amazing how plan slowly fell into place.
God provides all they need for rescue.
Final dramatic escape of last 4 divers as monsoon rains suddenly fill the cave, & pumps fail.
We hear 100? divers scrambled out of that would be watery grave.
Picture Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark running down that ramp with the giant stone sphere in hot pursuit, gravity driven. Drama.
Remember one died saving them...let's not forget the fallen hero....
Dene Pride -Actually the Thai’s did a marathon run for the Navy Seal that died. All proceed went to his elderly parent and wife

Wonderful to hear!
Everyone involved with the rescue are all hero
More than 10 country's rescue members ohhh Awesome job a big salute both of the guys
Thank God Almighty & these brave divers & doctors & volunteers
Canada must be proud! All the best.
What happen to the last 4 boys and the coach? I've been waiting to see them well in the hospital.
Lana Chau
Ask media.

Thank you to all the participants and especially the divers. Thank you
Thank,you #Ireland y'all rock,

Well done Canadian hero and all involved. Special shout has to go to British Cave Rescue Council you steely eyed missile men!
Missile Men … thought it was Rocket Men … Apollo 13.
Breece Pancake
Was John Glenn the Rocket Man song???
God bless you
Great! So glad those kids got out safe.
This type of people is real hero
SO MUCH BRAVERY , DIVERS & EVERYONE THAT WORKED SO HARD IN SUCH BAD CONDITIONS. IT SHOWS THAT THERE ARE SOME REALLY GOOD PEOPLE IN THE WORLD & RESTORES FAITH THAT WE MUST FIGHT FOR A BETTER WORLD
Thanks God for giving wisdom and strength to all rescuers in bringing out all the boys.. God is good all the time..
And ALL the time God is good!
ungratefulmetalpansy yes there is really no "god" but "GOD" there is..
ungratefulmetalpansy
Mocking Almighty God???
I amazed to see the footage of so many volunteers/rescuers moving through water that is neck high, yet they are not wearing tanks. What if the water raised? What if pumps broke, or rain started? Would they be able to get out in time? I hope that if a movie is made about this, it is a documentary and not a fictionalized holly wood production. I think more people would be interested in learning all the REAL details, and not just watching some fiction based on the story.
Commercial Communication
The water did rise, most dramatically as the last boy is rescued. Everybody scrambled out of that watery would be grave.
You guys did it!!
Thanks God for the experience you give them
heros everywhere
Very great job brothers
Thank you Erik
Thank Thank Thank hero
it is a pity that they could not communicate more, but it is very understandable that the operation required utter discipline, and also the Thai official handlers rightfully seem adamant about the privacy of everyone involved, foremost the boys and families.
neovxr
Narrative mentioned communication.
Staging area was deep inside the cave
(one hour walk) as command post.
What did they use???
No radio or phones observed so far on video, but such close coordination requires como. Ask.
some military guys I think from Israel, brought a walkie talkie system with a new technology, must be almost hyperspace. it looked still similar to the devices from the seventies... :)
but they didn't have too many.
Applause to the Thai for an perfect synchronised effort! This would not have been possible without some really intelligent command that knew when to delegate, request expert help, synchronised a perfect plan. The logistics involved would have been massive! From Geologists, engineers, trade people, Navy Seals and Navy personnel, the Army, Air Force, Police, National Park staff, local and foreign volunteers, not to mention the respect shown for the parents & children, not allowing this to be converted into a Media Circus. And lastly, not condemning the young coach who is in reality, just another victim of very dire circumstances. Dignified and respectful, Thailand has much to show us in the world!
Couldn't agree more.
Thank you
Probably blankets were ready at the cave entrance ready to wrap the kids from as soon as possible to prevent temperature shock
Sedonascape
Cave filled with rain water from monsoons.
Thanks so much for all of you hero
I like to watch this kind of thing under difficult time, quarantine under covid pandermic.
Well. Done. Very. N'ce. Great. Men. All
seems, there came together a pretty optimal team. guys you all were so great, endlessly sorry for the loss of your comrade.
this is what international "collusion" should be, and can do.
this is the thing that ought to happen. there are other dangers, too.
Bless your heart erik..xxx 💪💞💪💞💪
Really? How are they going to honor you?! I would think that men that rescue young boys from caves are probably not doing it so they will be 'honored'. I'm sure they're not even thinking about that. Wow lady.
So happy the boys are out and on the road to healing and having their lives back. So many people gave so much. A beautiful thing to see people from everywhere just working together.
This will be a blockbuster movie...calling James Cameron or Steven Spielberg or Roland Emmerich!!
John Red
Call them.
See what they say.
Thanks you so much😚😙😗😘👨🚀👨🚀👨🚀👨🚀🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️💑💏💑👍👍👍👍
Most amazing heroes of which one gave his life
Mission completed.
Just wondering why rescue is a secret?? Any ideas??
jacob Hernandez
If rescue is secret,
how can we know???
Diplomacy, tact, & discretion, always avoiding even the appearance of impropriety. Meaning???
In due time story will unfold.
BBC reported
the news story.
CNN just did the first mini documentary.
Full documentary,
Movie, & Museum also planned.
One reason is all the boys were sedated.
woohoo!!! great job!
Why can't he answer a question ? Damn
This was an INTERNATIONAL effort and glad we Brits took part also...beats the crap nationalism Trump exposes. We can do miracles when we work together . Respect Canada from the UK.
Real heroes in real life not movie
Besides being a hero. Eric is a total BABE!
ยอดเยี่ยม
Kuasa Allah SWT atas izinnya para relawan n penyelam berhasil dalam misi menyelamatkan ke 13 pemain bola itu, salut atas perjuangannya. Alhamdulillah terimakasih semoga tuhan memberkati semuanya aamiin ya Allah 🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇💕💕💕
were the steps already in cave or built
OMG
Why did you pick on a support diver who does not know much...? Why not picking a diver who was in direct contact with the boys rescue? We your audience deserve better information. To me, your outfit is a bit on the amateur side of journalism.
All this said, I am glad to know that the rescue mission is over and that no casualtys were reported. Good job!! Hopefully lessons will be learned and no future mishap of this kind will ever be repeated.
God Bless.
Pierre Flamand
So ask.
Who should media interview???
National ENQUIRER wants to know.....
❤️
So did they put the boys in the stretchers even when they had to submerge? Won't that be risky?
Esther Lee
Watch CNN mini documentary on YT
No, the elite divers had to dive and carry the boys out like a shopping bag. Then they tranfered the boys to stretchers for the dried parts.
Hopefully the boys got some maple syrup.
God created the cave.
God sent the boys in.
God flooded the cave.
Man got them out.
Al hamdulilla
Its Football not Soccer
Kurama363 its the same ,_,
Kurama363 and this is canadian news
Is it not Fuutball (? spelling ?) or is that a league in Europe?
👍👍👍👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
I hear they found Gary Glitter dressed up as a diver.
👍💐
Hah, where the American Navy Seal that help with the recused? President Trump say he send them to help.
steve mean None. Those were Thai Navy SEALs. Only Americans were talking to media.
What was wrong with "ummmmm" "yaaaaa" Guy? Thanks for helping, just stay away from interviews.
Does anyone else think it's a little suspicious that when the boys were rescued they were separated, why? They had just spent the past how many days together, highly suspicious.
they were sick and the some of them were in critical condition including the coach who lost his energy helping the boys get his food and drinks keeping them to always meditate to conserve energy. Even their families were told not touch or hug their kids. They boys had to wear masks and gloves to keep them and their family safe if their emotional family gave them hugs and kisses.
So Eric, you are Canadian, not you are? Eh? You say you helped some other hosers siphon some water out of a cave eh? Nice job. Eh?
If they were all sedated, these lucky boys will have no recollection of the dive.As a result of that, they should not have any disorders such as PTSD, OCD or nightmares. Thank you! These Divers are true Hero’s....They are Angels.
u guys have done the improbable, you now have 13 new sons
Mission Complete!! Remarkable well done well done 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
God bless you
A lot of prayers were answered when the last person came out of that cave safely. It was a miracle and I don't see why there are so many negative comments. Someone even gave their life to see this happen. True heroes are humble and I think this man Is one. Thank you Erik for the interview and for your contribution to this team effort.
Great job. Hero I love you all help safe the Thai kid❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🇹🇭🇹🇭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Who's it her ask questions for dive? She's voice soft and sweet lovely.
Lorry Ok
Being a diver I am AMAZED at the bravery it took these divers to go into this zero visibility thick mud water for at least a 25 minute swim to get these kids out . 25 minutes each way with each boy ! Just heroic in every sense of the word Well done Divers !
MsSaudm
Look closer.
First extraction took 11 hours.
Second extraction took 9 hours.
Third extraction took 5? Hours, but in two increments.
Learning with each phase, with new divers replacing exhausted teams.
From entrance divers walked one hour to water entry point.
Meanwhile, resupply of air tanks between extractions, by other teams. Lights, como, pumps, Guide rope,
overhead guide wires & pulleys in place
(day 10 to day 14).
Extractions began day 15 with water rising, time, & air running out.......
thank you all the divers, Great job! Also we should remember the Thai Seal Soider who lost his life!
Great job and congratulations.
my god I got shivers when I saw the cave, may God bless u all the rescuer.
I was praying at 3am......
I'm a Thai who live in United State. I would like to thank you Mr. Erik Brown from bottom of my heart. You did a greatest thing for humanitarian. Your family, friends and country should be proud of you. You're one of the truth hero.
Koi BKK what does the thai words at the top of the board at 6:38 says? From left to right. How many diver or something?
left ---> right
Country, divers, supporters, total.
Hero's are humble heather. The reward is in the team getting out. Bless Thailand #13Hope
Kudos to you Erick and the rest of the rescuers
We people of Thailand can never thank you all enough. May God bless you all abundantly.
Real heroes
Just an amazing rescue. To see everyone working together to get the trapped boys and coach out. Thanks to everyone as you did a great job. Erik, great to see a Canadian on the team!
Sue Thomas
Realize diversity of language, culture, personality all drawn together.
Local people helped with free food, free taxis, free laundry daily for the Rescue team, etc.
Thai army organized site, encampment, media, civilians, &
The Plan. Notice senior officials there
to guide the team.
Hand of God.
I couldn't agree more. I really feel that God was there. So many people prayed for the rescue, for the boys and their coach. Latest news is that they will get out July 19th. Really a short stay for what they had to go through during their trapping and the rescue.
What a positive way to come together.
It breaks down the walls
Kudos for the Thai authorities to keep the press out of their detailed plans.
Thank you Canada nothing else to say but thank you
Thank you Eric and all Nations all military and civilians. All heroes! 🙏🏼
As a Thai national, I would like to say thank you to this brave man and as well all the international divers that helped in this operation! Side note: My wife is from Quebec and I love Canada! ❤️
l3locparty hello sir may i ask you what the thai words at the top of the board say? At 6:38 in video. I assume it says how many divers and volunteers.
Splash Family The words at the top of the board means 'total number of divers'. The word at the top of the first column means 'country', the second column means 'divers', the third column means 'support' and the last one means 'total'.
queserazz thank you.
REAL HERO!!!!!
Thank you😍 from Thailand
Thailand did an incredible job. the logistics must have been staggering. A true miracle carried out by the Government, the people of your Nation and many others from different Nations working together to save the lives of the children and their coach. The world became a better place. Love from Canada.
