A Thai-led international rescue team has freed the remaining five people who were trapped inside a flooded cave in northern Thailand, concluding a dangerous three-day mission that captivated people around the world.
The final four members of the “Wild Boar” boys’ football team and their 25-year-old coach were last night taken to a hospital in Chiang Rai in northern Thailand, after being trapped inside the Tham Luang cave system for 17 days.
Three members of Thailand’s elite Navy Seals force and a doctor exited the cave safely yesterday. The 12 boys and their coach were trapped by a flood on June 23 and were found alive on a muddy ledge inside the cave on July 2.
