this if we get kids out safely. they have the buddhist-monk like coach sitting there. imagine sitting dark, wet for two weeks let alone the operation. it s going to get trickier because the weaker more panic boys will be last. they want to bring psychological momentum within the group and within the 90 divers that are helping with stages of oxygen and air n. some ways the group is more dangerous and the final group will be the most dangerous, panic is the enemy here. water boarding works. you have to keep psychologically positive attitude. rob: kids that don t know how to swim. carley: yeah. they are in good spirits, there was a letter published from some of the boys that are still inside the cave, one of them said he s okay and looking forward to go home and eating fried chicken. the participants were happy to hear that from him.
out the strongest of the group. those first four were the strongest of the group because they wanted morale to be high and spirits to be lifted and they wanted to make sure they brought out the strongest to make sure they could get through the terrain and through the murky water and then also prove to the other kids that were behind hey, can you do this too. pete: couple folks said and we said in the military all the time slow is smooth and smooth is fast if you don t want to rush. difference between moving methodically panicking and rushing. thankfully the most highly trained divers from the australia i can t understand u.s. and thai doing. this remember, as you said, they are not bringing out other cave divers who got stuck. bringing out kids who literally don t know how to swim. they are being dragged. ainsley: put the best of the best in there. right? pictures emerged yesterday. two top cave divers in the world. think about the skill set. pretty narrow skill set.
mountain and brought in here by helicopter. by the accounts that we have, they re doing remarkably well. some of them had to receive some immediate first aid as they exited the cave system. this was a 2 1/2 hour swim under water for boys that didn t know how to swim. it s remarkable that they are doing so well. a lot of them are asking for their favorite foods, spicy chicken and rice, those requests largely denied by the doctors, unfortunately. they re not able to eat solid foods, because after 16 days of not eating solid food, you can t just pump a patient full of fried chicken. so they re able to eat whatever they want in the next couple of days. matt bradley, what about the boys that are still in that under water cave? what is the timeline right now for when they expect to be able to get them out? are they confident they will be able to get them all out?
arm around the back of the other diver s neck, and sort of pulls him while that other diver is kind of on his back kicking. it seems to me that if you have a child who doesn t know how to swim, that s the way you would get through the water, right? because otherwise there s a concern about panic or what have you. yeah. i mean, i highly doubt that they re buddy breathing or they re rescue swimming a guy out of there. they ve probably got one hand on his back and they ve probably got a handle he s probably in a harness, to be honest with you. so they ve got a handle on the harness and they re pushing him along. the guy in the front has a rope to him and he s tied off and he s pulling. so not so much a rescue situation, more so they re trying to guide him through the passageways, keep his head off the rocks. got it. now the governor says all the oxygen tanks were used to rescue those four boys. so first question is, kind of surprising, isn t it, that they didn t have any more oxygen
[ ] marianne: live from america s news headquarters. i m marianne rafferty. a treacherous mission to save a soccer team in a flooded cave in thailand is under way. the boys will have to learn to use scuba equipment in order to exit the cave and some reportedly don t know how to swim. four of the boys were led out of the cave first after they underwent scuba training. the group has been trapped in the cave for more than two weeks. massive flooding hindered their escape. rescuers are hoping to pull them out before monsoon rains start
