    UPDATE:
    During the post-production of the documentary "13 Lost: The Untold Story of the Thai Cave Rescue," director Raimund Huber received an email from Rick Stanton, leader of the British rescue divers, facilitated by Ben Svasti, a liaison for the British divers.
    The film focuses on a team including Ben Reymenants (leader), Maksym Polejaka, Ruengrit Changkwanyuen, Vsevolod Korobov, and Bruce Konefe, who persisted after the British divers abandoned the rescue mission and worked with the Thai Navy Seals, navigating most complex cave sections and establishing safety guidelines.
    Stanton's email, containing false accusations/assumptions, was seemingly aimed to influence the director’s project and discredit Ben Reymenants. The director refuted these accusations/assumptions and asked for evidence, but neither Stanton nor Ben Svasti have responded yet.
    Here is the email, along with the director’s response to Rick Stanton (Ben Reymenants should not be confused with Ben Svasti): drive.google.com/file/d/1U2zWN13lAbp0qsWX6iCXUQbH25fXj2ea/view

      The truth needs to be told.
      So the ropes were laid by Ben and Maksym. And it was BEN who suggested to use the face mask for the boys.
      The British found the boys BUT without 🇧🇪 and 🇫🇷 who built the infrastructure for 🇬🇧, the English will never find the boys on their own.
      HEROES to Ben and
      Maksym !!!!!

    I would like to say thank you to Ben, Maksym and Savy...You are the true heroes, because you have laid out the pathway reaching the kids. The two Britishers should thank Ben, Maksym and Savy. Documentaries and TV series have highlighted the Australian Doctor and the British, but never mentioned both of you. However, they have forgotten to highlight Ben, Makysym and Savy big contribution. As always the Anglo Saxon people try to highlight their story. I am with you BEN, MAKSYM and SAVY. You are the true hero and the best. Kudos. Loves from Malaysia.
    Cheers

      I wonder why they wouldn't give Maksym a rebreather? Ben had one, so he could have continued on for hours, but not alone. Maksym had tanks which didn't allow him to continue, so they both turned back. After watching a dozen retellings of this story, the cockiness of some of the "heroes," who never mention Ben, Maksym, Pae or Seva and were pretty dismissive of the Thai Seal team doesn't sit so well with me.

    I must have watched 6 documentaries and movies about this rescue, this one just came across my TH-cam feed. It really helps gel all the glitz given to the British divers into perspective. We know at least a dozen international divers participated, but only 3 became acknowledged heros. I'm so glad these other intimate stories of this miraculous successful global effort are out there and not washed away with time. I live 7km from the cave, been there before during and after, not the most inviting habitat to be in under any conditions. Thank you for all your efforts and the great risks you overcame towards the glorious outcome. Thank you.

      As they say in this documentary many heroes have reached the top on the backs of others. The European team deserved recognition for their role in this story. Ben getting sucked into that narrow passage could so easily have ended in disaster. But he ultimately discovered the passage that led to the boys, even if the British prevented him from participating any further. Egos are something else.

I’m glad Ben & the guys got the recognition they deserved by the Thai president. All in all, the kids are rescued by a huge team effort. Everyone is a hero in their own right. At least the kids are alive and well, returned to their families. I hope they close this cave down.

      The cave isn't at fault. It has been visited safely by many before.
      What needs to be done is changing the work culture in Thailand. It should not hierarchy based.
      The incident could have been prevented if employees at the weather centre had the authority to issue a public warning about monsoon starting.
      The slow process of getting critical information to the higher ups and then waiting for their response. That really played a strong part in this unfortunate incident.
      If public warning had been issues just a little faster. The soccer team would not have entered the caves.

    Absolute respect to these guys, they are heroes.
    My dismay is that, not only the divers featured here but also the large numbers of support volunteers who have only been included as, “Oh yes there were others who helped,” without asking for or being given credit or acknowledgement. They too deserve much more recognition than has been offered. Personally, I am able to only name one, who I count as a personal friend, so it’s not even remotely appropriate for me to identify him. Enough for him to know that he has my undying respect! 👌
    I think the lack of recognition is disgraceful, each nation involved should be encouraged to provide a roll of honour for their own Nationals, to be displayed along with the rolling credits of ANY and ALL media regarding this truly international cooperative operation!

    Fantastic story, after this happened I have to say I was a bit Thai cave rescued out but this was completely engaging a story. The 2 divers Ben and Max are just awesome in what they did for those kids, strangers, and without deserved recognition. And they are understandably pissed off, but not bitter. I can’t even conceptualise how they did what they did, leaving jobs and loved ones to dive in murky water and deal with international ego politics. I never could see myself even dreaming I might risk it all for a dozen kids I didn’t know. Now that I can own that I’m not hero material, how about those British? To be fair, of course they too were extremely heroic, and deserved allthe praise they got but I couldn’t help but think, Maksym and Ben: been snubbed, robbed and I the end, pwned by the English?

    Synopsis:
    The untold story is that Rick Stanton and John Volathen of The British Cave Rescue Council initially found it too difficult and dangerous to penetrate into the cave and were about to give up when two other divers were called in, Ben Reymenants of Belgium and Maksym Polejaka of Ukraine.
    Ben and Maksym did much of the ground work in way of exploring the right side of the T junction and laying of guide ropes through the most difficult sections- making the rescue possible and yet are barely mentioned in most articles and documentaries. In 12 Lost interview, Ben states he was the first to say the kids would need to be brought out in full face masks and was ridiculed by the Brits and shunted off to manage the O2 tank replenishment station.
    However both were recognized by The Thai Royal Navy and His Majesty The King to receive medal commendations.

      In his book, Rick Stanton falsely insinuated that Ivan Karadzic, who was suffering from a fever and severe dehydration in the field hospital, was essentially seeking a way out of the rescue. And John Volanthen in his book said “Some of the Euro Divers only went into the cave once before deciding the work was not for them. The egotists in the group were noted too.”
      However, in reality, it was only Rick and John who gave up on the rescue and the children, opting for sightseeing instead. Besides of Ben's team (the Thai Navy Seals support team) and the Euro Divers, the British also downplayed and/or made false accusations or insinuations against the Governor, the Admiral, the Thai Navy Seals, and the SpaceX team, all of whom were essential to the successful outcome of the rescue but were not part of the British team.

    I tend to observe that the people least concerned about personal recognition and credit are the most effective at getting results. In many instances big egos, often those of legit NPD cases, will come in to take credit and glory after the hard work is done. This story seems to at least somewhat keep with that trend.

    Extremely brave of you real unsung heroes who really needs to be appreciated and known for their part of laying the rope which was the extremely crucial part in this whole mission. Great job. Even after several years of this incident it’s so sad that the world still thinks it’s the Britishers who did everything.

    Thanks guys, for share all of this with us. I always thought that there was something more about the British’s story. They were incredible, but you’re incredible too. God knows that… the true recognition comes from Him. Don’t be upset. That rescue it was only possible because of all those parts working together. We can’t talk about just two heroes at all.

Особисті амбіції і "перетягування ковдри" як прояви низького людського єства, втім, не відміняють героїзму британців. Головне - життя, які було врятовано неймовірною жертовністю простих людей, котрі об'єдналися для створення цього дива! 💙

    As usual complex procedures require team effort ,and the more seamless it is the better it usually turns out .anybody who has performed difficult difficult surgeries ,difficult military operations...etc knows or should know that ,maybe not the general public but still I knew there had to have been more specialists involved for it to have worked so well, I’m glad those people were portrayed in this documentary I wish they would have been recognized more even by the British team and internationally .To them goes my recognition ,for their humbleness for the quiet , unnoticed but resilient and strong effort .It should be known that these people were the cornerstone of the rescue.

It's pointless arguing who did their best, cause all of them did. We're just people after all, no one is perfect. Also rest in peace to the two rescuer who passed away from this mission(one directly, and other indirectly, from what I read). Your bravery live on!

      Say that to all the Australians and NZers that were put in the frontlines by Britain that died like lambs to the slaughter. It is obvious some have taken credit for something they didnt deserve in this story - glad I know now it was Ben and Max that were behind the real rescue.

    • @lesleycassell
      @lesleycassell ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Indra - I agree. When 'one/some' (very understandably) lost hope, others stepped in and pushed forward, and so and so forth. Without the team on top of the mountain, directing the water away from the sink holes the rescue would not have happened; without the strength of the coach keeping the children calm, the ending would have been tragic; etc. etc. etc. ...and so and so forth. Every person involved played a their very important part - the aim was to rescue those poor children and their coach - the aim was achieved. Precious lives were saved, by everyone stepping in and stepping out, and pulling together to achieve that aim. A magnificent effort from each and every one concerned - it upsets me when people sour this fantastic and magnificent happy ending with negative unhelpful comments.

At first, I felt very disheartening for you, but I’m glad the Thai team knew of your selfless sacrifice and gave you the honor, respect, and credit you all deserved. This is how Thai people are and I’m proud to call myself a Thai person. Thank you again for your hard work and dedication.

      Every one who came to help are heroes, No one stood on the shoulders of others! I followed this news everyday all day as a Thai and there are many interviews from volunteer drivers, Thai SEALs and documentaries in Thailand that told the same thing that the British drivers are the main key of this successful and somethings different from this documentary. However, there are many drivers take turn to work in various tasks and focused to help, not to show themselves to the media. But “SOME” drivers came for the “Pictures and News” inside the cave to sell to the media which is illegal, that is why they are not allowed to enter the cave in the later.
