. . . But to be fair, he probably mobilised the offer before the rescue was really into its swing.
I think you have the timing correct

to put the best light on it

it is an effort to do something

and if not useful or needed now it might be a useful design and tool in case of future need

_____________________________

for all we now it might have been useful for part of the journey if it could reach a point where a transfer of the boy could be made safely mid way


so I am not one to assess bad motives quite so fast


[but it is so tempting to do so and I was quick to do so before I put some thought into it ]

_____________________________________________________

I would love to see the rescue team ( divers, medical and support members ) get awarded above and beyond the norm

for some it is their job ( military members and medical ) others are volunteers and amateurs if I am not mistaken

and I hope funding is set up for the future needs of those being rescued, I would guess their trauma won't end upon emergence from the cave system

rumor

" An eleventh person was rescued on Tuesday from a flooded Thai cave complex where 12 boys and their soccer coach were trapped for more than two weeks, raising hopes all 13 would be out by the end of the day.

A Reuters witness saw three people being carried out of the Tham Luang cave on stretchers separately on Tuesday, the third day of the rescue operation.
Eight of the boys were brought out on stretchers over the first two days - four on Sunday and four on Monday. . . . "

Eleventh person rescued from Thai cave on third day of operation

I hope it is true

Now, let's hope they all recover quickly - and that they can be left alone for a while. Those kids need their families now, not a horde of journalists.

I'm hoping the same applies to Harry, who is a very quiet, humble guy and will *hate* the notoriety this amazing story will thrust on him.

We are not sure if this is a miracle, a science, or what. All the thirteen Wild Boars are now out of the cave.

Was referring to divers as frogmen.

Only a doctor and three Thai navy SEALS who helped with the rescue effort will still need to get out safely before the operation is wrapped up.

I'm sure which it is.
It's the latter, with the calm heads of experience controlling the decisions.

you are correct, of course, I did misunderstand

no one can let their guard down until all have emerged unharmed

I just see the news said that Doctor Richard Harris loose his farther shortly after the last member of the rescue team to leave the Thai cave.

My deepest condolence to Harris family.

the Australian Doctor is known to the world now

The doctor who chose to stay in the cave

he was known to a select community before

and he was part of a team of Australians, including his friend a vet, who risked their lives for the trapped Wild Boars

great job by all involved
