Edited to add:
Unfortunately a Thai language report that 6 have cleared the cave appears not to be factual
Since original report of 6 out is not confirmed have to conclude incorrect rumor
Good news keeps coming.
They also report that the coach ate nothing during the entire time and his condition is the weakest.

(53,061 posts)I went back to confirm what my wife said she heard and they definitely said 6 kids are out and they are showing preparations for a press conference.
Sorry wish I had more. I usually treat Thai media reports with scepticism as they include rumors in their reports but these people were very definitive about 6 getting out.
Waiting for better confirmation.

(33,915 posts)2 walked out, accompanied by reports of 4 at the staging area. As near as I can tell, 4 total reached the staging area, two walked out, but the reports about the staging area still reported 4 (not the remaining 2).
This is consistent with the plans I've seen to split the boys into 3 groups (which would mean 4 to a group).

(5,624 posts)at station 3, all above water, so they could rest before going the last mile. I assume they may also have needed some oxygen and it was said earlier they were out in the cave as they had depleted all they had stashed. Glad to hear 5 and 6 have completely vacated the cave.

Hope they all make it out alive.

(2,190 posts)I'm not saying that's true (that report is 8 hours old) just that there's a lot of uncertainty out there.
"The remaining eight boys and their coach remain at the original underground location near to Pattaya beach, suggesting that previous reports that six boys had been freed were inaccurate."

(6,930 posts)I doubt this op is correct also because I think the US news would have it by now.

You must have heard a rumor.
