I followed this story every single morning as it happened in real time, before I started my work day. I would wake up in the morning, and the first thing I would do, before I would get out of bed, was check my news feed to see if the boys were okay. This was the best story for me for 2018!
What is rarely mentioned that was actually pointed out by one of the rescuers was the stench of faeces that filled the cave that the boys were in. It must have been horrendous for everyone involved
They were expecting to find dead bodies so when they spelled the feces they immediately thought it was the smell of dead bodies. Imagine how happy they were to realize all survived
I’m from Thailand. You cannot imagine how big this was, it really was a rescue epic. All Thai media reported live from the scene, each story update on twitter got retweets in the thousands , donations, volunteers of every kind even interpreting volunteers when the foreign teams started arriving on scene. No one could remember a search (then later rescue) operation of this scale. People clung to any update on the story, you get emotionally invested. If you were in the country then, you’d know that the situation was very bleak, but we still prayed All in all, it was a beautiful story. Thai people have their differences but everyone united in national collaboration which turned global and a story of survival against all odds.
Aksel Benn Christiansen everyone wouldn’t stop talking about it. And the thing is, I was on a basketball team at the time and I was scared that the same thing would happen to me
Neville Walker that’s probably why they went there, because they went there a lot and enjoyed it 🤦♂️. How about pay attention AND use common sense smh.
Wikipedia The rescue effort involved more than 10,000 people, including over 100 divers, many rescue workers, representatives from about 100 governmental agencies, 900 police officers and 2,000 soldiers, and required ten police helicopters, seven police ambulances, more than 700 diving cylinders, and the pumping of more than a billion litres of water out of the caves.
Also, the locals came out to help feed the rescuers. It was a huge operations with caring people offering any kind of services possible from cooking to translating messages amongst the different nations.
Credits to the farmers around the cave too. When rescuers had trouble channeling the water that they pumped out of the cave, they replied by saying "Direct the pipes to our field. We don't mind losing our crops. We just want the boys back safely.".
Dude I rewatched it 4 times to try and figure that out, he didn't start out saying the coach went with them, so it didn't make sense that he magically was there the whole time
Samam kunan also died, he was a former thai seal who came back to help. Beirut Pakbara died from a blood infection and Samam Kunan died of suffocation due to running out of oxygen. (Its weird, if you search up who died, you either get one or the other unless you name them both)
One of my favorite survival story. always got teary watching their story.. Big Respect to the boys, the coach and to all the rescuers!! Rip to the Thai navy seal..
Hi inforgraphics Nice to see this video. These boys and coach were brav and withstood the problem. Unfortunately one diver died.. Ya.. Me too rooted to tv what will happen to him. Finally they rescued.. Thanks to rescuers.... Thanks for another awesome video...🙏👍😊
True; however, I often don’t keep up with the news or virtually any form of what is occurring in other countries. The funny thing is how I obtained the information.
As the local news report, the dead SEAL was a retired SEAL and had been working as a security guard. Basically, he didn't have to be there. He went there because his unit was posted there.
and thats when buddism actually played the role to help them they use the method of the buddha who survived by not eating for weeks by meditating. buddism is not just a religion but its the way of life. lord buddha protected them.
ShadowMC X Bro in my opinion i think no religion is real they are all just made up i grew up as buddhist only by culture but i dont believe any religion exist neither gods or buddhas but ok
This was discussed by our professor last year and by that time they were still being rescued. Im very sorry for that one rescuer who died but I am happy they’ve made it out alive.
I was so worried for those boys... I was on the edge of my seat as the search for them slowly progressed. I remember once they were finally located - safe and sound - I cried tears of joy as I watched the video released by the news media! :-)
In Australia it was actually the first time two Australians divers got Australian of the Year instead of one (awarded Australia Day) for the rescue efforts of the Thai boys.
Cave diver are a completely different breed. They are inhuman. I've heard stories about divers that have lost their lives by going into extremely dangerous, unmapped caves to rescue the dead remains of somebody that they've never met that died there back in the '70s. You should cover more stories about cave divers and, well, just divers in general. There are a ton of them on the channel called MrBallen if you need inspiration. A lot of his older videos are mostly cave diver stories. I hope to see more, as a diver myself (open ocean, NOT caves!!) I'm extremely interested in stories like this.
Since you covered this event, you should cover the 2014 Iguala Mass Kidnapping in Mexico. Your viewers would enjoy a thorough coverage of this tragedy.
I remember hearing about this during my vacation. I prayed and even cried, hoping these boys and coach would get out alive. moment of silence to the diver who died in the process.

@Jacob Carmanns happened last year
That means a lot as a Thai person.Thank you for caring about these boys
5:33 that one kid who was afraid to go in the cave and was left behind. Yet he was the reason why the boys got saved.
I don’t think he was afraid since he’s been in there before. Where did you hear that?
so true
He wasn't afraid, his dad had asked him to do something, So that dad is the real savior
I remember how worried the whole world was for these kids.
Oh hey clo- hey your not clorax bleach! :o
Meanwhile, I had no idea of this event till now.
Can't believe it's been a year since the event happened

How did they get trapped in the cave?
@@DJGamer-hm8or They were exploring the cave and then heavy rain started, which trapped them
@@drazgul9403 no, they went to the cave since it started to rain and water started rising so they went deeper and deeper
@@ruutui5217 or that
@Astral Oblivion no, they wanted to floss in the cave
What is rarely mentioned that was actually pointed out by one of the rescuers was the stench of faeces that filled the cave that the boys were in. It must have been horrendous for everyone involved
viewlesscheese5 that makes sense I was thinking how cloud the smell them
Thats hos the British diver found them. First by smell
There must have not been a lot, since they didn't eat for 18 days
I mean after a while their noses should be immune
They were expecting to find dead bodies so when they spelled the feces they immediately thought it was the smell of dead bodies. Imagine how happy they were to realize all survived
I want to say RIP to the Navy Seal that died in the rescue mission

The Thai Seal who died is called Samam Kunan, and he was a former seal who came back to help the boys.
We won the game? Alright boys pack up, we’re going in to a cave to celebrate
Did you not listen they went into the caves quite a lot

Will that same effort happens if a normal family got trapped into a cave?
Pyrotechnic 17 What do you mean by normal?
@@satrickptar6265 did u meant the boys family is abnormal?
Credits to the farmers around the cave too. When rescuers had trouble channeling the water that they pumped out of the cave, they replied by saying "Direct the pipes to our field. We don't mind losing our crops. We just want the boys back safely.".
This really cave me nightmares, speaking as a claustrophobic person
i see what you did there
You're punny
Noice
I won't ride an elevator ! Have to have control of my surroundings !!!
Even kudos to that farmer who said "Drain out water in my crop-field. Crops can grow again, but if those kids die they won't come back."
And insurance is nice 🤣
Great true story, I remember when this happened!
Cquests101 it was only a year ago
ikr, the whole world were watching.
Same here
Upthereadingfc not even actually
I thought only 3 boys were there. But there 13 and a coach?!
12 and the coach so 13 in total

thats never happened to me and probably will never
huh?

Love how the animator draws them wandering around the cave smiling.
I'm Thai and I want to thankyou everyone in the world who have been cheering on the wild boars until they were rescued.
At 1:42 it shows the plane in front of the traffic light.That plane is incredibly close
Nice!! I know that story, it was on my country's news
It was on almost every countries news

@@Puddingcakelol Well technically these kids pretending themselves as pro gamers. They didn't even know what's currently happening.
@@Reddit-Incognito Now i am really confused.
Love how the diver that died was just randomly brought up instead of explaining what happened to him
And now I’m crying, partially from happiness partially from sadness 😭 thanks Infographics, love ya guys
How did the coach turn up in the cave among the boys?
He went in with them
I think he went to try and "rescue" them when they went to explore the cave, but ended up getting stuck as well
12 boys and 1 coach went in
Dude I rewatched it 4 times to try and figure that out, he didn't start out saying the coach went with them, so it didn't make sense that he magically was there the whole time
I still remember being in class and holding my breath as this unfolded. Crazy what we can do when we come together.
RIP Beirut Pakbara
Samam kunan also died, he was a former thai seal who came back to help. Beirut Pakbara died from a blood infection and Samam Kunan died of suffocation due to running out of oxygen.
(Its weird, if you search up who died, you either get one or the other unless you name them both)
Infographics has a such a long series on disasters and serial killers, it's nice to see a playlist that focuses on heroes and courage
i remember how much i felt worrying for these kids. it’s an unforgettable while. my respects to the brave diver who died trying to save the kids
I am a thai person and i am proud that you covered this legendary story
The coach. He took them through it. He's a hero imo.

This rescue must've been very delicate n complex. And nothing short of a miracle.
The boys at 3 am looking for beans at the cave
I hope that one boy who did not go into the cave is not ignored. He should get some spotlight too.
I remember when this happened. I was heading back from camping, and it came on the radio.
I still remember it on the TV. I was so relieved that they managed to get out.
I saw this on the news months ago... Finally I saw something before the Infographics showed it!
Well it was sort of all over the world

As the local news report, the dead SEAL was a retired SEAL and had been working as a security guard. Basically, he didn't have to be there. He went there because his unit was posted there.
I hate how people always try to find someone to blame the coach didn’t do it on purpose it’s not like he wanted them to die
