00:00 They are getting forced to do something that no kid has ever done before.
00:04 It is not in any way normal.
00:07 Extremely hazardous environment, zero visibility.
00:12 I was very scared.

00:33 It's an extreme cave system.
00:46 It's very long.
00:46 It's one of the longest in Thailand.
00:48 It's about nine kilometers long.
00:50 It's a complex system of tunnels.
00:53 The smallest part was about a half a meter high restriction.

01:33 We were taking turns with the British team in laying fixed ropes,
01:39 making way to this room where they suspected the kids would be.
01:44 [MUSIC]
01:54 How many of you?
01:57 13.
01:58 Brilliant.

03:23 He was helping out, placing tanks.
03:38 And every time I would come up, he would come and shake my hand and
03:43 ask information, the right questions.
03:46 So it's a real shame.

04:08 We essentially strapped a cylinder to the front of the child.
04:12 They had a full face mask, which is a way of making sure that they can breathe.
04:17 We had a handle on the back of the child, so
04:20 we were able to maneuver them in that way.
04:23 When I saw the diver and the kid in the horizon,
04:27 I still didn't know if it was a casualty or if it was a kid.
04:31 But when I saw that he was alive and breathing and seemed to be all right,
04:36 it felt very good.
04:38 It felt very good.
04:39 [MUSIC]
04:50 [MUSIC]
05:18 I cannot understand how cool these small kids are.
05:21 And thinking about them being kept in a small cave for two weeks,
05:26 they haven't seen their mom.
05:28 Incredibly strong kids, yeah, unbelievable.
