Missing nine days in the cave, 12 boys live.

The rescue search squad has found 12 boys and their coach alive in a cave in Thailand, where they have been missing for nine days.

The boys, 11-16, are part of the same soccer team, and along with their coach, had gone to explore the complex cave of “Thaname Luang Nn”, where they were trapped after being caught unawares by a sudden flood of water.

Local emergency workers have also come to the aid of two British experts, who think that the passage from the upper tunnels seems more promising, as the crossings below are blocked by flood waters.
