    They've been able to walk a lot. Makes it a much easier prospect than trying to dive them out a couple of days ago. Also encouraging that it's the weakest that have made it out first.

    took two hours less than estimated to get the weakest kids out. hopefully that bodes well for the rest.

    Incredible, as the whole world watches in suspense, for once united and hoping for a miracle. I honestly thought this would end in tragedy and while there is some way to go yet, amazing news so far. RIP to the diver who lost his life and respect to the brave men and women risking their lives in the rescue attempt.

    And of course Putin will pop up out of the water at the very end as the last boy is recovered, in a frogman suit, let it be known that he personally rescued all of the boys and that he will be bringing them all to the game in his private jet.

    6 were supposedly confirmed. They wouldn't stop for the dark - maybe to give the crews a rest

    4 went by ambulance & 2 by helicopter

    Screw Putin and Infantino. I think most people can look past that and see what it would mean to the kids.

    Stopping for the dark would make no sense whatsoever, it's pitch black in the caves whatever the time of day?

    I don’t think night or day matters ina dark cave rescue.

    No reason given and CNN basing their report on comment from a US official so may not be correct.

    Be a long time before any of those divers have to pay for their own drinks I'd say

    When they find out England could be in the final, they might want to go back into the cave.
