WATCH THAI CAVE RESCUE DOC
Next Ron Howard's Film Thirteen Lives
In 2018 a boys’ soccer team of 12 players aged 11-16, along with their coach, went missing. 10 days later they were discovered, trapped deep inside a cave in Northern Thailand by an early monsoon storm that flooded the cave. The only way out of the cave, a perilous five-hour dive-swim that only expert divers are equipped to do. The Thai Navy Seals were the first into the cave. The US Air force Rescue team, expert cave divers from the UK and Jim Warny, an airplane factory electrician and recreational cave diver, all volunteer and make the journey to Thailand and embark on a mission to rescue the boys from the cave. This is the story of NOVA’s Thai Cave Rescue. A city of volunteers from all over the world came to pump water out, plug holes in the mountain above the cave that let in water and searched for ways to enter the cave through holes in the mountain. An elite team from 4 countries put together a plan. A country prayed. The soccer coach, formerly a Buddhist monk, taught the boys to meditate to calm them and fortify their spirits to keep them alive.
