Divers rescued 12 teenage footballers and their coach after being trapped inside a cave in Thailand for 18 days. They were first reported missing on June 23, 9 days after their disappearance. Many question how they survived there for so long.
BBC Saying that they had a scheduled match on June 23. But the head coach canceled it and talked about practice. They cycle to the field in consultation with parents and coaches. But there was no talk about entering the cave.
The day was party member Peerapat Sampiangzai's 16th birthday. And to celebrate that, he buys food from the local market for more than 700 baht (about 1800 Tk in Bangladeshi currency). They then requested assistant coach Ekapal Chantaong.
The BBC says the players were very enthusiastic. Physically strong and had a very good relationship. When water started entering the cave due to heavy rains, they ran deep into the cave to escape. It is believed that the juveniles survived by eating the food they brought with them after being trapped inside the cave. It is heard that the coach ate very little food when he was afraid of running out of food inside the cave. As a result, when divers found the football team inside the cave on July 2, Coach Ekaple was the most physically weak. After that they started sending food from outside.
But water. Rescuers say the water in the cave was dirty and murky. That's why footballers used to drink the water that seeped from the cave walls. And to keep themselves warm, they dug a five meter deep hole with stones inside the cave. They took shelter inside the tunnel to keep themselves warm.
