FYI : May be of the Medical ethics that this clip didn't show his name, the most important person who advised the medical method and one of the diver team (who stay with the boys in chamber 9 till the last one came out) in this operation is Dr.Richard Harris, an anesthesiologist from Australia.

This is the opposite of war......it shows what we can all do if we come together and share. Salute to all the divers and rescuers......especially the deceased diver. 🙏

I (Brit) live 5km from Tham Luang and have visited twice. I find it quite sad tht there is a statue of Saman Kunan (RIP) at the cave, but no mention of the British divers (and the Australian anesthetist ((also not mentioned in this documetary)) without whom the rescue could not have succeeded) Also seldom mentioned in documentaries about Tham Luang: Hundreds of people arrived to help with the rescue, many were there for 18 days. Many, many thanks to the Thai people who arrived with food and drinks and cooked for the hundreds of people that were there!

I was one of those who watched the update on the rescue. I was very impressed and got teary eyed imagining how they survived in that cave. I even watched the movie twice and this is my 2nd time watching the documentary. Salute to all the rescuers, volunteers, media and to all the concerned people around the world. Nothing is impossible, thanks All to GOD Almighty.

I remember seeing this in the news and praying for these kids. Then, as 4, 5, 8 days passed, we started praying for peace for their families. I'm a little embarrassed for having given up on their being alive, but really, even after we found out they were alive, the news made it very clear to not get hopes up, it was just an impossible situation from start to finish. When I found out the kids were rescued, though, I absolutely cried. It was just so insane and *beautiful* how they stayed calm together, and that so many people came to help.
