Otherwise, what an amazing story, and an amazing achievement by the Taiwanese.
RIP Saman Kunan, the brave diver who died during the rescue.

I had read another story before I heard about the 'Wild Boars' football team trapped underground in Taiwan, and it sent a chill down my spine.

I think it emphasises the issues faced by the Taiwanese rescue team.

Remarkably happy ending apart from the diver who sadly died

Just thought I'd point out, Taiwan isn't Thailand btw

Taiwan - formerly Republic of china, Formosa, Home of Kymco

Thailand - Holidays, tsunami, Bangkok, ladyboys

I'm not surprised they were doped up. Try handling a panicking or stroppy baby and then imagine if you were a diver, trying to get through a small gap with a teenager who didn't want to do it and you couldn't talk to him to try and calm him down. I'd have wanted them unconscious.

If that was UK, some twat would be bleating it was against their human rights to knock them out without consent. Rolling Eyes
