Boys to be split into four groups - reports
The trapped boys will be divided into four groups, the Bangkok Post is quoting a source as saying.
It says the first group will have four people, with the second, third and fourth containing three people. The coach will be in the final group.
Coach Ekkapol Chantawong (left) is among the last 3 including 2 boys to be escorted by divers out of flooded #ThamLuang cave: Rescue authorities. #D-Day
The Thai government has published a graphic detailing how each child will be rescued.
Two divers will accompany each boy, who will wear full face masks as they are guided through the passageways by rope.
When facing a particularly narrow path the divers will release the tank from their back and slowly roll it through as they guide the boy through. This means that the boys will never be alone, as had been previously feared.
They will then walk from chamber 3, which has been drained to the extent that it is possible to walk in it, to the mouth of the cave that they entered on June 23.

Maybe can we all just assume that we all have access to the same news websites as are being quoted thus avoid the need for multiple cut and pastes from same sites maybe ?? Just a thought ?

I like coming here for the most up to date late breaking news instead of searching all over...
As long as you absolutely don't rely on any information you find
Herald Sun link says unconfirmed that 2 maybe three kids are OUT!
UNCONFIRMED Thai media reports say at least two boys have emerged from a flooded cave system after successfully negotiating the difficult channels with the assistance of rescue divers.
If correct, the boys have emerged some two hours earlier than anticipated.
Another boy is believed to be resting and recovering near the cave entrance.
Two of the boys are out and have been transferred to Chiang Mai hospital
Another four posssibly are in the tunnels
Just announced
Sources are telling the Guardian’s Michael Safi that the third and fourth boys to have been rescued are receiving medical examinations outside the cave, while the fifth and sixth boys are about to emerge.

When I first read your post, quoted above, NIrish-guy, I nodded sagely and said to myself, "Ah yes, that knowledgeable lad from Northern Ireland has his finger on the pulse and yet again he says what many of us are probably thinking."Originally Posted by Nirish guy
But when I read the post by lonelywombat, announcing that two of the Thai soccer boys were out and had been transferred to Chiang Mai hospital, that was the first time I had heard the good news. My television and radio were off and I was reading my Sunday newspaper, containing yesterday’s news of course, while occasionally checking out the situation on Sawatdee on my mobile phone.
So well done lonelywombat for being the first with the good news, well, at least, in my case. And let's just hope they manage to get all the boys and their teacher out safe and sound.
Four kids have been rescued last night and seemed to be relatively OK.
Apparently this morning (Monday, July 9) they are going to attempt to bring out another 3 or 4.
The interesting thing regarding the first 4 is that they were 4 of the weakest boys ... and I would think that that alone bodes well for the next, stronger, group to come out.
Just another reason why I love living in Thailand
Yes, I guess it was a question of the weakest first to get them to hospital, or the strongest to prove the concept
