You can see he was the man for the job. Calm during the interview. Professional and straight to the point and humble. He comes across as serious and frankly that’s what that mission needed. You sir are a hero. Thank you for all you did.
4:33 He is wicked. 1:43 This "cave rescue mission" is a big advertisement campaign for Fly emirates. 0:42 This "cave rescue mission" stinks one hour in the wind.
Four years passed and now there is a movie “Thirteen lives”. Once you grasp what they were really facing there it blows my mind they dared going there, that deep, at all. Never mind rescue. It seems there were so many possible ways you could have died there. Being crushed, knock out or trapped by falling material. Trapped by current in some narrow passage (where your physical strength is insufficient to back up). Lose guide rope in strong current and never find way out before hypothermia takes you. Damage vital equipment underwater while navigating obstacles at tight places with strong current and in nil visibility. Not to mention if you navigate unknown passage without seeing anything, how can you be sure you not reach and be surprised suddenly by some super strong current which will take you to some place of no return (as say underground river)? I always imagined cave divers are hard tight to some security rope (hard connected either to wall or other diver), same as rock climbers. I thought similarly as rock climbers (climbing mechanisms) they use some mechanisms allowing them escaping overwhelming current. Guessing in 2.5km rescue operation such measures were simply not viable due to time pressure and length of dive in relation to enormous resources necessary for such things.
This story is not just about saving the boys. This story proves clearly that if people have common goals, together they can achieve an incredible milestone, regardless of the nation, culture, religion, language, political relations. A hope for humanity in case of a common threat
Tyler Ruiz tell that to the globalist prick Michael Colun. People say shit like that all the time while demanding more from white people to help non-whites everywhere.
with a FREE thai elite visa... anybody can visit thailand, no need for VISA if you come from a WESTERN country... and what do you get? VIP to go play some golf courses full of pesticides ... no thank you, pretty lazy reward that costs thailand NOTHING
MANY PHOTOS OF THE GROUP SHOW THEM WITH MYLAR REFLECTIVE BLANKETS WITH THE REFLECTIVE SIDE OUT AS IF THEY WERE HOT. THE TEMPATURE SHOULD HAVE BEEN 57% OR COLDER.
Lol if it wasn’t for the media all this information would have stayed in Thailand. So ignoring the media isn’t the way to say it. Ignore media when they try to tell you what to believe aka Fox News.
If I EVER get lost in a cave with neck deep worth of water, I want THIS GUY RIGHT HERE to guide me out. There's no shaking him its insane how calm he is. What an amazingly humble man!
A great man, soft spoken, humble and selfless. He and the other volunteers deserve some lifetime recognition. These people are the exact opposite to those who train to do harm others.
I am thinking the diver who died just pushed himself to the limit, working so hard to save the children that he used his air faster that he expected. Maybe he was accustomed to using a larger tank. So sad.
There were hundreds of tanks. The odds that a few were defective, I would think would be pretty high. Damaged in transport. Improperly handled. And of course human error. I hope they find a way to maintain communications with every diver or at least have them never alone. But it will never be free of deadly dangers.
He might just be too exhausted & didn't realised it. He basically lose consciousness as his body couldn't process the oxygen anymore. It would be like sleeping. He got a dive buddy at that time but couldn't save him anymore.
His courage is given. But it sounds like a rookie cave diving mistake... a sober warning to all divers in that cave. His loss probably galvanised many to put aside bravado and follow the lessons and meticulous planning of veteran cave divers. Each was braver than me.
No Gandalf, most probably a miscalculation. He's an ex Navy Seal, so he he would probably be one of those who won't downplay the danger. I did open water diving & one of the most important thing is to be able to read your equipment. With zero visibility & the cold, he would probably thought he was ok until he actually lose consciousness. He might have used more oxygen than usual but didn't realise it. It could also be nitrogen narcosis or other gas toxicity. Remember that this rescue is the first of it's scale. So the divers team might not be aware of the change in their air supply due to the water & cave pressure. Gas toxicity is very dangerous & it's one of the main cause of death among divers.
Ardent Fan I just researched other deeds it takes to get knighted and they are underwhelming I thought it would take feats greater than or equal to these divers to obtain a title of knight I was mistaken.
What i love most about this story is how humble they all seem to be. From the kids and their coach to the rescuers, they are all true hero’s. We need more people like this in the world.
As the dumb American I am, or at least some of the world thinks we are, I'm smart enough to recognize heroes when I see them. The two British divers who went to lead this effort are unassuming, humble, and true heroes. There are so many thanks to give around the world for support, but these two divers and cave experts from England, along with the Elite Thai Navy Seal who lost his life are at the front. RIP Saman Kuman.
The divers were very classy and polite...the "smell" they referred to was the fact that for 10days those boys were going to the bathroom in the cave. But the divers never came out and said that outright out of respect for the boys.
You’re a true hero! An angel sent from heaven in the darkest hour. Sincerest thanks to you and your friend from Thailand. You and your country have our eternal gratitude!
He is actually very humble he rarely appear in media or any press interview. To think he was the key player during the rescue operation. Indeed best cave diver in the world.
What an awesome and humble human being. A true hero. Deserves to be knighted by the Queen and national honours from Thailand. God bless him and all the other divers who took part in the rescue.
l turner ~ Here in Houston, TX we kept praying also, and were saddened when the Thai Seal lost his life. 😔 We pray for his family and for the boys to continue gaining their strength.
Sorry for my English. In all my life, I have never heard of such a phenomenal achievement. I confess that at first I was very sad and I cried. Because I thought those boys would all die. I'm the father of a 13-year-old boy. Of all the HEROES who participated, I think two deserve special thanks: John Volanthen and Rick Stanton. If it had not been for them, nothing would have been possible. I have no words to describe my admiration.
An amazing effort by many people from all over the world and the Thai's actually welcomed help. It's amazing what can be done. So many heores, from the people who fed them, to the engineers right down to the divers and Doctor's.
Modest , humble , kind , brave , humanitarian .... no words can really describe them adequately ...heroes one and all ... the world salutes you ... respect 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A HERO !! Should be knighted Sir. A complete inspiration to the Whole World. Well done, Sir !! And putting Britain on the Map for marvellous reasons !!! 👍👍👍
Honestly,when youre stuck inside a cave,and that smell lead divers to find them😉 Kudo's to these hero's for their act of kindness,God bless to all the people who gave their support for these kids.👍👏❤

Wow, how the world knows how to come together for the children and nobody screaming the bad "straight white man"!

Michael Colun White men volunteering to take care of brown children out of the goodness of their hearts. Good stuff.
Charlie Chuckles or it’s just people helping people. Don’t make it a race thing
Tyler Ruiz
I did not
Michael Colun that was a reply to Charlie chuckles
Tyler Ruiz tell that to the globalist prick Michael Colun. People say shit like that all the time while demanding more from white people to help non-whites everywhere.
You are a Hero and you are so humble!
Thailand will forever be grateful to you, sir
the whole world is grateful to you sir.
with a FREE thai elite visa... anybody can visit thailand, no need for VISA if you come from a WESTERN country... and what do you get? VIP to go play some golf courses full of pesticides ... no thank you, pretty lazy reward that costs thailand NOTHING
Totally agreed, an honorable medal of the highest degree should be awarded to each Hero by the Thai Government !
This brave man is a hero. Nothing less!
This "rescue mission" stinks one hour in the wind.
really me what
welshdragon2008 your emotions have been controlled by a bullshit media. Wake up you sheep. This actor is no hero. You have been suckered.
MANY PHOTOS OF THE GROUP SHOW THEM WITH MYLAR REFLECTIVE BLANKETS WITH THE REFLECTIVE SIDE OUT AS IF THEY WERE HOT. THE TEMPATURE SHOULD HAVE BEEN 57% OR COLDER.
^maybe the kids just didn't realize how to wear them properly?
That's to be expected when working with food deprived twelve year olds.
" Ignore the media"....wise statement from a wise and wonderful man!
Kristen Noelle I though he was intelligent, but when he got to that question, he seemed genius. It is probably great advice to everybody.
Lol if it wasn’t for the media all this information would have stayed in Thailand. So ignoring the media isn’t the way to say it. Ignore media when they try to tell you what to believe aka Fox News.
Fake news
Marvin Carey Fox news and CNN. Most msms news tbh
He meant he ignored the media present at the rescue site for the sake of focusing on his job. It wasn't an instruction.
Very professional and very humble. Thank you.

Maybe don't go into a cave

Nik Ninja these folks are having some civilized discussion. Why the hostility, huh?
I can't believe how humble&simple he is! Such a kind and modest hero Xx God bless
So humble and a compassionate man.
UK government should give them top honors award
A "Sir" on their name
Already awarded in past!
Ardent Fan I think hes already a knight
Ardent Fan I just researched other deeds it takes to get knighted and they are underwhelming I thought it would take feats greater than or equal to these divers to obtain a title of knight I was mistaken.
Thank you so much...as a mother I feel like you are nothing short of a hero. This was a second birth for those kids. What a story!!
What a string and humble man. God bless him and all those who put themselves at risk to help others.💜🙏🏼🌎
Sha Liz so string
And strong too. :)
Very remarkable person. 😊😊
Thanksgod
Krishanu Chatterjee Yet you made no remarks.
White Mail Privilege What remark should I be making?
This guy does not care about the media, fame etc.. he only had one job, which was to bring the kids and coach out.. Mad respect!
Note his awkwardness. Even a bit uncomfortable. That's a true hero. Not an attention seeker.
do you have someone in mind when mentioning a 'attention seeker'? Cuz I have one.
Mad Titan where did you see such a 5 year old? Must be the smartest kid
What i love most about this story is how humble they all seem to be. From the kids and their coach to the rescuers, they are all true hero’s. We need more people like this in the world.
They all are good people.

Edgeofreason i am American and I wonder about my fellow citizens.
No other citizens from any other country put themselves down as much as Americans do. I don't get it.
I am a Brit but remember the great contribution of the US military.
Jerrod P nobody gives a fuck where you or the divers come from
Edgeofreason -- They don't count. They aren't dumb, they are just ignorant fucks.
He is a truly humble and compassionate person. Millions thanks from Thailand .🇹🇭🙏❤️
นันทวรรณ วงษ์ปัญญา We ❤️ Thailand!!!
The divers were very classy and polite...the "smell" they referred to was the fact that for 10days those boys were going to the bathroom in the cave. But the divers never came out and said that outright out of respect for the boys.
You’re a true hero! An angel sent from heaven in the darkest hour. Sincerest thanks to you and your friend from Thailand. You and your country have our eternal gratitude!
He is actually very humble he rarely appear in media or any press interview. To think he was the key player during the rescue operation. Indeed best cave diver in the world.
He actually found himself in this exact predicament in the US and sat in a cave for 27 hours before being rescued by Edd Sorensen.
Huge respect for this humble man. The enormity of him and the rest of the team is not to be forgotten, ever.
One of the Teens who were in the cave died.
praise to all his families
What an awesome and humble human being. A true hero. Deserves to be knighted by the Queen and national honours from Thailand. God bless him and all the other divers who took part in the rescue.
what a great rescue and condolences to one seal that died. I was gripped to the story here in Chattanooga TN, willing you along, praying to yhwh.
l turner ~ Here in Houston, TX we kept praying also, and were saddened when the Thai Seal lost his life. 😔 We pray for his family and for the boys to continue gaining their strength.
Great... Hats off to you. It’s a rebirth to the kids and the coach. God Bless you
What a humble man, may God bless you🙏🏻
This man is not only a hero, but he IS the epitome of humility!
Love,
From Malaysia.
He is the real hero, first person went into the cave with out any clue.
This simple man just saved a 13 kids. Something worth cherishing for the rest of his life.
Thank you so much. You are our hero. We are very grateful to you. Please accep our respect and love. Thank you again from Thailand.
Found this after watching the movie last night. Brilliant work from everyone. Im glad kids survived. RIP to the NAVY guy. True hero.
What a remarkable and humble person he is!!!He is hero of this collective team efforts to rescue 13 people in the cave 😍😍😍 Well done👍👍👍
He is a hero on earth.
Kanchana Weranga I’m from Mars. He’s a hero here too.
Kanchana Weranga hero of Earth. This is the type of person that should run a country
Sorry for my English.
In all my life, I have never heard of such a phenomenal achievement.
I confess that at first I was very sad and I cried.
Because I thought those boys would all die. I'm the father of a 13-year-old boy.
Of all the HEROES who participated, I think two deserve special thanks:
John Volanthen and Rick Stanton.
If it had not been for them, nothing would have been possible.
I have no words to describe my admiration.
This is the definition of brave and humble! Im in awe of this man.
Calm in the midst of crisis..humble eventhough the enormity of the task performed..RESPECT for this man🙌🙌🙌
This is someone that needs to make all the millions of dollars! Not that he would take it! He is my hero!!!
You are our superhero and you are wonderfully made!! Lots of love from Malaysia!! God Bless
Knoledge, calm, confidence... what a fantastic work! God blesses all those people that rescued the boys!

Honestly,when youre stuck inside a cave,and that smell lead divers to find them😉
Kudo's to these hero's for their act of kindness,God bless to all the people who gave their support for these kids.👍👏❤
I assume they might not have disposed the excrements in the water (in case they needed to drink it ? the water was muddy but that was earth etc.
+Jefferey After the training session they visited the cave (not for the first time), the group had an appointment to a birthday party later, so that was not meant to be a long stay. They ignored the sign that warns to stay away from the cave during monsoon saison.
I also heard that during the rescue operation the government redirected some rivers (or one river) which bought the team more time. With reducing that input and pumping out the water they could keep water levels lower.
So it is possible the torrential rain that fed water into the system and trapped them in the cave was from farther away - it could explain why they went in and were unaware of a great rain coming down - or they were unaware that a downpour could affect them.
- Driving to a party in a downpour on their bikes doesn't sound like a good plan, so I guess the weather changed quickly and for them in an unexpected manner.
When rising water cut them off the front part of the cave (that can surprise even experienced cave explorers) they retracted further and further into the cave.
Most of the boys cannot swim, never mind the divers also mentioned strong currents. So no way to escape but into the cave - they moved/crawled along when the space was not yet under water and they had lights so for them the journey was easier than for the divers later.
Does this man even understand just how Muxior of a hero he and those men were?? Omg
The real hero 👍👍
This is how you get something done. Surgical precision and absolute expertise not stupid luck not silly superstition. Kudos to this man.
a hero, no less. so humble, down to earth. very different from the americans
Richard Goh us Americans are extraordinary humble intelligent and attractive
David O'Flaherty lmao this comment is not humble at all
Thank you! You are a hero! A big salute to you and all the divers.
Humble and human! Real star!!!
The effort they did to make sure they will be able to bring them out safely up to know amazes me. Even practicing at a swimming pool on how to maneuver the small child in the water. Wow. They are just normal people who did an amazing job and made something truly remarkable.
Love this man😊
What a man! Brave, smart and humble.
