What a fucked up situation. How do you get them out? It is the craziest, most technical and dangerous kind of diving -- highly trained people regularly die doing it.
Maybe Trump needs to invade Thailand and figure something out

If they told trump they were illegal ms-13 immigrants to that cave he'd separate them from their parents and put them in internment camps in Texas. This would not be much of an improvement.

Ivanka needs to show Donald some pictures of the crying Thai kids in the cave and maybe he'll shoot some Tomahawk missiles over there.

It's okay, they can just eat each other until eventually the sole survivor learns how to dive.

They're Indian/Asian(Thai)(the hottest mix ever).
@OP You're hoping for the worst. You're a terrible person.

I'm really not. It's really a tragic situation. All the families relieved that their kids were found alive... then finding out how hard it is to get them out. It's so fucked up. Caves are fucked up.

I sincerely hope all the lost children are returned to their families and are removed from their terrible prison safely and quickly.

A cool profile of the British volunteer rescue divers who were the first to get to the boys: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-44690688
Apparently there's some question about whether the Thai military divers are prepared for this... I was reading on a cave diver's forum that they had the wrong equipment for this kind of diving. Hopefully patriotism doesn't lead any other of the Thai military divers to take unnecessary risks, when there are trained specialists on scene.

And reading further down
In Thailand, Mr Brown said he thought there was one aspect working in favour of drilling — the softer rock.
"It's most probably some form of limestone, which to a driller is absolute butter and is extremely quick to drill through," he said.
By comparison, the rock at the mine in Chile was volcanic and extremely hard, which caused the drills to deviate.
"But I would expect that in Thailand it would be extremely soft and should be quite quick to drill."

They were tourists doing a cave trip, and it suddenly flooded while they were already in it.

No not really. Only caves I have been two are those you walk into with a fair amount of head room. Just never have been interested in crawling through a cave.

Really limited experience in this area. Carlsbad Caverns New Mexico and Meramec Caverns Missouri. Perhaps one other
I will take back the not crawling into a cave because I have done several but not very far and only to view celestial events like the Solstice and all of those were here in California in the Sierra's.
Last one was in NSW Australia and that was to see an Aquifer my one and only view of a river underground which was indeed cool to view
