18 Days in Darkness
世紀大救援——受困洞穴泰國少年搶救全記錄
Trapped Thai Soccer Team Rescued from Cave

MICHAEL HOLMES, CNN ANCHOR

Relief and joy in northern Thailand after the last members of the youth football team and their coach are pulled out of the cave alive and well.

Yeah, people lining the streets there—cheering [and] clapping as ambulances carrying the final four boys made their way to the hospital. The relief felt by so many people in Thailand—indeed, around the world—after three long days of a complicated and risky rescue operation.

Now, all 13 members of the group [are] being monitored by doctors. They were trapped underground for more than two weeks. The Thai Navy SEALs, there—they took a photograph of the four men who took part in the international rescue effort.

As they wait to be reunited with their families, those 12 rescued boys—the families are expressing their deep gratitude to the team that pulled them out alive.

SARISA PROMIAK, AUNT OF A RESCUED BOY (VIA INTERPRETER)

I would like to thank [them with] all my heart. That’s [There’s] no way that we all could pay them back. If there’s a chance for all of us into [as a] family are … including other parents, we would go and bow, like, to [give] thanks to everyone.

MICHAEL HOLMES, CNN ANCHOR

Family members are, of course, breathing a sigh of relief after what was more than two weeks of stress and worry. Our Matt Rivers takes a look back now at how this extraordinary ordeal unfolded.

MATT RIVERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT

A mission that defied the odds, with an outcome that many are calling a miracle. If there are days when the forces of faith, science and sheer determination could be perfectly aligned, July 10 could be counted as one of them—with the successful rescue of the last of the boys from the Wild Boars football team and their coach.

NARONGSAK OSOTTANAKORN, GOVERNOR OF CHIANG RAI PROVINCE (VIA INTERPRETER)

We managed to do something that we never expected we could do. It’s the world’s first.

MATT RIVERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT

On June 23, the 12 boys and their 25-year-old coach left their bikes at the entrance of a cave in Thailand. Monsoon rains trapped them so far inside the deep cavern that more than 1,000 troops and an international team of rescue workers couldn’t find them for nearly ten days.

First contact came on July 2. Two British divers find [found] the boys and their coach huddled on a rock ledge four kilometers into the cave.

JOHN VOLANTHEN, CAVE DIVER

How many of you?

ADUL SAM-ON, MEMBER OF WILD BOARS FOOTBALL TEAM

Thirteen.

JOHN VOLANTHEN, CAVE DIVER

Thirteen?

ADUL SAM-ON, MEMBER OF WILD BOARS FOOTBALL TEAM

Yes, thirteen.

JOHN VOLANTHEN, CAVE DIVER

Brilliant.

MATT RIVERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT

These were some of the first images the world would see of the boys—proof of life for desperate families and a galvanizing moment for the people trying to save them.

JOHN VOLANTHEN, CAVE DIVER

You are very strong.

ADUL SAM-ON, MEMBER OF WILD BOARS FOOTBALL TEAM

Yeah.

MATT RIVERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT

In the following days, a lifeline to the outside world was set up, with divers ferrying food and medicine into the cave and rescue workers working around the clock to pump water out of it.

But on July 6—a tragic reminder of how dangerous this situation was. Sergeant Saman Kunan, a retired Thai Navy SEAL, died as he returned from an operation to deliver oxygen tanks to the group.

Meanwhile, conditions in the cave continued to worsen. Oxygen levels dropped to dangerously low levels, and more heavy rains were in the forecast.

So, on Sunday, July 8, a day Thai officials called D-Day, the first wave of rescue operations began. Four boys with a diver escort on either side navigated the tight twists, turns and sharp passages of the cave to be met on the outside by an elated global audience.

Monday, a second rescue wave would follow, with an additional four boys brought out. The last of the boys, plus their coach, emerged Tuesday, along with a doctor and three Navy SEAL divers.

For now, the boys remain in a nearby hospital, getting medical treatment—not yet at home, but safe, with the prospect of many more days to come.

CNN主播麥可．霍姆斯

在少年足球隊的最後一批隊員和他們的教練安然無恙地被帶出洞穴外之後，泰國北部洋溢著如釋重負和喜悅的氛圍。

是啊，救護車載著最後四名男孩前往醫院的時候，民眾夾道歡呼鼓掌。許多泰國人因此感到鬆了一口氣——事實上，全世界都是——就在歷經漫長三天複雜且危險的救援行動之後。

如今，全體十三名成員正接受醫生的密切觀察。他們被困在地底下超過兩個星期。泰國海軍海豹部隊，就是那幾位——他們替參與這場國際救援任務的四位男士拍了張照片。

就在那十二名獲救男孩等待與家人重聚之際，家屬向那支將他們活著救出來的團隊表達深深的感激。

一名獲救男孩的姑姑莎瑞薩．普羅米亞克（經由口譯）

我要由衷地謝謝他們，這份情我們不可能還得了。如果我們全家人，包括其他人的父母有機會的話，我們會去向每個人鞠躬致謝。

CNN主播麥可．霍姆斯

在歷經了超過兩個星期的壓力和擔心後，家屬們肯定是鬆了一口氣。本台記者麥特．瑞佛斯現在要來回顧這場非比尋常的考驗是怎麼發展的。

CNN特派員麥特．瑞佛斯

一項克服萬難的任務，有了一個眾人稱之為奇蹟的結果。如果有那麼幾天，信念、科學和十足決心的力量能夠完美地連成一氣的話，七月十日可能算得上是其中一天——野豬足球隊的最後一批男孩和他們的教練成功獲救了。

清萊省省長納隆沙克．歐索塔納科倫（經由口譯）

我們設法做到了一些我們從沒想過自己做得到的事。這是世界首例。

CNN特派員麥特．瑞佛斯

六月二十三日，這十二名男孩和他們二十五歲的教練把腳踏車留在泰國一座洞穴的入口。雨季的大雨將他們困在深邃山洞非常裡面的地方，一千多名軍人和一支國際救難隊近十天都遍尋不著他們。

初次聯繫發生在七月二日，兩名英國籍的潛水員發現男孩們和他們的教練擠在洞穴內四公里處一塊突起的岩石上。

洞穴潛水員約翰．沃倫森

你們有幾個人？

野豬足球隊隊員阿杜．山昂

十三個。

洞穴潛水員約翰．沃倫森

十三個？

野豬足球隊隊員阿杜．山昂

對，十三個。

洞穴潛水員約翰．沃倫森

太好了。

CNN特派員麥特．瑞佛斯

這些是世人得以看到這些男孩們身影最初的一些畫面——對心急如焚的家屬而言，這是他們還活著的證據，對於努力援救他們的人來說，這則是令人振奮的一刻。

洞穴潛水員約翰．沃倫森

你們非常堅強。

野豬足球隊隊員阿杜．山昂

是啊。

CNN特派員麥特．瑞佛斯

在接下來的幾天，架起了一條與外界聯繫的生命線，潛水員將食物和藥品運入洞內，救援人員則是日以繼夜地將水從洞穴中抽出。

但在七月六日，一起悲劇提醒人們情勢有多麼危險。泰國海軍海豹部隊退役中士沙曼．庫南，在將氧氣瓶運送給這群人的一次行動的回程喪生。

與此同時，洞穴內的狀況持續惡化。氧氣量下降到危險的低標，而且氣象預報指出將會有更多大雨。

於是，在七月八日星期日，即泰國官方所稱的行動起始日，第一波救援行動展開。四名男孩在兩側各有一名潛水員的護送之下，穿越洞穴內曲折、蜿蜒且急轉的通道，在外頭迎接他們的是興高采烈的全球觀眾。

星期一，第二波救援隨之展開，另外四名男孩被帶出洞穴。最後幾名男孩加上他們的教練則於星期二在一名醫師和三名海軍海豹部隊潛水員的伴隨下現身。

目前，所有男孩仍在附近的一家醫院內接受醫療照護——雖然還沒回家，但很平安，並且對未來懷抱著希望。
