Thai Cave Rescue First Contact

Posted by Debbie Lang | July 30, 2022

This video was shot by British cave divers Rick Stanton and John Volanthen (portrayed by Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell in the Thirteen Lives movie) the moment they made first contact with the boys and their coach in the flooding Thai cave. The boys tell the men that they are hungry and ask if they can leave. Unfortunately, it would be another eight days before all of the boys could be brought out. Stanton and Volanthen promise the boys that more help would be coming the following day, including a doctor. Related Article: Thirteen Lives: History vs. Hollywood
