Trapped cave football team is FREE! All 12 boys and their coach have been removed from flooded tunnels after daring rescue mission

All 12 youth football players and their coach are now reported to have been rescued from a flooded cave in northern Thailand after a three-day operation. The final four school boys and their coach, who had been trapped in the Tham Luang Cave in Chiang Rai for 18 days, were carried out on stretchers to waiting ambulances on Tuesday afternoon local time. Among those extracted today is t he youngest member of the team, 11-year-old Chanin Wiboonrungruang, whose nickname is Titan. The governor of the rescue mission had previously said Tuesday's operation would be more difficult than the previous two days, due to the increased number of people who need to be evacuated. Following the final five will be four Thai Navy SEALs - including a medic - who will be extracted once the team are freed today.
