High risk ways to save trapped kids in Thai Cave Rescue mission, watch video

The ‘Thai Cave Rescue’ has gripped people all over the world with fear and expectations. 12 kids along with their footabll coach have gotten stuck in Thailand’s Thang Luang cave and officials are on a war footing to somehow extract the group out of danger.
It is also worth noting here that an ex Navy SEAL who was involved in a rescue task lost his way on returning from establishing an oxygen line to the chamber where the children are stuck.
Obstacles:
1.Authorities are not ready to make these inexperiences swimmers dive out and come as it may mean a lot of dangers.
2.In addition to it, the water current in certain areas is very high.
The water is also muggy which means the visibility in the area is very low.
3.The space is confines and so teh divers might have to take their equipment out to the front to wade through the waters. This might not go well with kids, who are inexperienced.
4.Most of the kids do not know swimming or diving.
Steps taken:
1.Children and the coach are being given crash crouses on breathing and basic diving lessons.
2.A starting rope which would help guide the children and the divers/rescuers to find their way out is being considered.
3.Oxygen tanks might be placed at regular intervals to avert suffocation and smooth escape.
On the downside, the entire procedure for each kid might take 3 hours atleast. The three hour swim was even difficult for the two British divers, who are the best in the world.
In earlier such scenarios teams have used drillingto get to the stranded. But here the group is stuck 1 km below the mountain. So officials are actively on the lookout to find other possible entrances or rock cracks. However,the big obstacle would be the imminent heavy rain forecast that may begin tomorrow.
