3 different movies (13 Lives, Cave Rescue and Thai Cave Rescue) about the same incidence coming out at the same time or close to it? I mean it was a fairly interesting story but not that interesting.
Actually, it was a pretty remarkable story. 12 children and their coach survived 18 days trapped in a cave. None of them died, although 2 divers did. In an age where we are constantly bombarded by doom and gloom and bad news, it’s rare to have a story that has such a favorable outcome. The sheer scope of the logistics involved and the manpower needed were remarkable.
The rescue effort involved more than 10,000 people, including more than 100 divers, scores of rescue workers, representatives from about 100 governmental agencies, 900 police officers, and 2,000 soldiers. Ten police helicopters, seven ambulances, more than 700 diving cylinders, and the pumping of more than a billion litres of water from the caves were required.
If not for covid, we would have seen these offerings in a much more timely manner. I would venture to guess that 13 lives is the best of the bunch.
‘survived 18 days trapped in a cave’
What no one’s telling us is that they started out with 14 kids. Muahahahaha!
Thai food is pretty good. js
