5 more Brits join Thai cave boys rescue

-

Lads stranded FIVE more British experts have flown to Thailand to help rescue the 12 boys trapped in a flooded cave.

Two extra cave divers were sent overnight on Wednesday following a plea by Thai authoritie­s.

And three cave rescue support crew are en route, including a Thai speaker with “intimate knowledge” of the Tham Luang cave.

They will join hero Brits Rick Stanton and John Volanthen – the first divers to reach the boys and their football coach on Monday after nine days missing.

Rescuers fear further flooding and the boys are being taught to dive for a potential high-risk exit.

The British Cave Rescue Council said: “We have to be realistic that it’s a very perilous situation and an awful lot could go wrong.”
