As Thai search enters seventh day, divers cling to hope of finding lost boys

Image
By Panu Wongcha-um CHIANG RAI, Thailand (Reuters) - Having failed to find any sign of 12 boys and their soccer coach during a week-long search of flooded cave complex in northern Thailand, rescuers held out hope on Saturday that the group could have found safety on a rocky mound in one of the chambers. Divers were still some way from the potential safety spot, called "Pattaya Beach" after one of Thailand's best known tourist destinations. Meantime, a police search party has entered the cave from the surface, having drilled a 50-metre long shaft from the mountainside.

Divers progress in search for missing Thai children trapped in cave

Rescue divers reached several kilometres inside a flooded cave Saturday where 12 boys and their football coach have been trapped for a week, offering a flicker of hope for the harrowing search. There has been no contact with the boys, aged 11 to 16, and their coach since they went into the Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand last weekend and were hemmed in by heavy rains that blocked the entrance. The desperate, round-the-clock search for the team has been beset by torrential downpours that submerged tunnels near the entrance, blocking divers from going in. But Navy SEAL divers reached a T-junction in the depths of the cave just one to two miles from where the boys are believed to be, Chiang Rai governor Narongsak Osottanakorn said. Divers reached the same spot earlier in the week but were forced back by rushing floodwaters.

Rescuers have worked for days to try to get access farther into a flooded cave in northern Thailand where 12 boys and their soccer coach are missing. Days of rain have raised water levels, stalling progress by divers trying to navigate the flooded passages, and rescuers are trying to drain the water and looking for other ways into the cave.
