Coach Tuesday: Chiang Rai and Handout Photo

coach tuesday: An undated handout photo released by the Royal Thai Navy on June 30 shows a group of Thai Navy divers in the Tham Luang cave during rescue operations in Chiang Rai, Thailand, according to Toronto Star. A team of cave divers rescued the last of the boys and their coach Tuesday from deep inside the warren of underground passages near Thailand's border with Burma, one of Southeast Asia's more remote regions. It turned into a nearly three-week-long story of survival, international collaboration and triumph over the impossible one that was avidly embraced and followed live across the world. Thai Navy SEAL via GETTY IMAGES A team of cave divers rescued the last of the boys and their coach Tuesday from deep inside the warren of underground passages near Thailand's border with Burma, one of Southeast Asia's more remote regions. How they did it was a mix of trial and error, improvisation, skill, massive water pumps, kilometres of guide rope and strategically placed air tanks along the three-kilometre-long escape route, much of it submerged. One by one, the divers brought the final four members of the Wild Boars team and their coach out of the flooded Tham Luang Cave. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
