Children missing for going on four days now in the Mae Sai area.

 

MAE SAI, Thailand - (AP) -- About a dozen navy SEAL divers and other rescuers re-entered a partly flooded cave in northern Thailand on Tuesday morning to search for 12 boys and their soccer coach who have been missing for three days in the sprawling caverns.

In rural Chiang Rai ... probably no televisions.

 

Now that they've found them, they have to figure what to do with them. They are past some very difficult flooded passages 400 meters beyond "Pattaya Beach".
