Twelve members of the team, aged eleven to sixteen, and their 25-year-old assistant coach entered the cave on 23 June after soccer practice. Shortly afterwards, heavy rains partially flooded the cave, trapping the group inside. <\/p>\n<p>After days of pumping water from the cave system and a break from the rain, the rescue teams hastened to get everyone out before the next monsoon rain, which was predicted to start around 11 July. Between 8 and 10 July, all of the boys and their coach were rescued from the cave by an international team. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/thai-cave-1.jpg\" alt=\"thai cave rescue\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sadly, there was one fatality, Saman Kunan, a 37-year-old former Thai Navy SEAL who died of asphyxiation on 6 July while returning to a staging base in the cave.

The Thai Navy SEALs captured the worlds attention last summer when they pulled off one of the most daring and complicated waterborne rescues in human history. <\/p>\n<p>Members of the Thai Navy SEAL group included their Admiral and wife, several senior officers, three Chief Petty Officers who conducted the multiple dive operation and are credited with the rescue, and the Gold Star wife and sister of the Thai Navy SEAL who tragically died during initial phase of rescue.<\/p>\n<p>The Thai Navy SEAL group stopped by O\u2019Hara\u2019s for steaks, Irish stew and a few pints and were greeted like rocks stars &#8230; both bars and entire restaurant area erupted in cheers when the word passed who was in the house &#8230; then off to FDNY Ten House where they were again greeted with open arms.
