9th boy rescued from flooded cave in northern Thailand

MAE SAI, Thailand – A ninth boy was rescued from a flooded cave in northern Thailand on Tuesday as divers were carrying out what they hope is a final mission to save the youngsters and their soccer coach trapped for more than two weeks.

Thailand’s Navy SEALs said on their Facebook page that “the 9th Wild Boar was out of the cave at 4:06 p.m.,” referring to the name of the soccer team they are all members of.

Eight of the 12 trapped boys were brought out of the cave by divers in the past two days.
