Very welcome news that all 13 are safe now! Sad that the Thai Naval Seal died in the initial stages. But according to the BBC news report at the time, Thailand then asked for international help, why was why a team of British very experiencde divers were sent out to help re start the rescue process. I heard that British divers were heavily involved in replanning what became the sucessful rescue.

This is old news I remember it from June 2018. Very sad that a Navy seal has died over a year later after a long illness as a result of his help in the rescue.
