It’s been three days since the football team have been located in the cave in Thailand.<\/p>\n
They’re now saying that it may be\u00a0possible for them to walk out,\u00a0they’re pumping quickly\u00a0but there’s an urgency as there’s monsoons predicted for the weekend<\/em>.<\/p>\n If they\u00a0don’t get it\u00a0pumped before then, they won’t be able to keep up with the rain\u00a0coming in.<\/p>\n While they’re trying to pump the boys are taking diving lessons\u00a0to learn how to\u00a0swim out of the cave.<\/p>\n There’s also another team of\u00a0people trying to locate the air hole which has kept\u00a0them alive so far. If\u00a0they can find the air hole it’s possible that this could be another entrance to the cave\u00a0and they may be able to get\u00a0them out through it.<\/p>\n I’m following the story and hoping they’re out later today.<\/p>\n Ciao,<\/p>\n Michael<\/p>\n The world of online courses has gotten bigger and bigger.
