All 12 boys and their football coach have been found alive after nine days missing in caves in Thailand, in a drama that gripped the nation.

All of them are safe, an official confirmed, speaking after the mammoth search operation in the Tham Luang caves in Chiang Rai.

The challenge now will be to extract the party safely, with rising water and mud impeding access.
Families of the missing group were ecstatic at news of the rescue.

1. Amazing. Nine days?

I was really hoping they’d be found alive and well.

2. YAY!!! There's some good news! How'd they eat, btw? Fish and cave critters, I suppose?

What about water?

Seems kinda miraculous really.

4. That is incredible that they were found.

All that rain could be the silver lining. A lot of people can survive without food for several weeks, it is the water that is a problem and causes death within a few days if none is available.
