    Maybe they can make that underwater dildo into a ride at Schlitterbahn? Get in the tube and be propelled vast distances into the vast unknown. But, we're going to need a window and a panic button.

    God knows if they branded it as a Musk-ride people would be lined up for miles for no reason.

    It appears from initial reports that it was before the rope was set in place so most likely he went off of the "normal" route.

    The Musk pod could be used to rescue an animal.

    Well done to the entire team.

    From what I read some of the boys were refugees from myanmar, one of them served as a multilingual interpreter during the rescue operation

    Could you give a link or source?

    If this were the case, it would've been highly discussed in the media. Thailand has had a really bad reputation for the mistreatment of Burmese (Myanmarese?) In the country. They are usually illegal immigrants who work labor positions in the service industry, are highly under paid (less $10 USD per day, but more than they'd make in Myanmar), and some have been forced into slave labor of the fishery industry. Also, if you are referring that the refugees are part of the Rohingyas, this would have been overly discussed in the world media due to the worldwide debate on them

    So to your point that they are refugees of Myanmar: I highly doubt it

    Probably key to their survival.

    From what I read, the kids love him and so do their parent. They credit him for the group survival. They often go on advanture together, including into caves multiple times.

    These details would not have been made public until after the ordeal was over.

    Great news.

    What about the kids and the coach medical condition, any news about diseases infections or any kind of physical/mental harm?

    I'm thinking physically, they should recover fine as long as they are treated properly for any infections. Mentally, from the video showing how calms all the kids were, I'm betting they are fine, which I think would be the most challenging thing for anyone stuck in dark confined space without food, with little water, with no sense of time, and if they would get out, for 10+ days.

    Apparently, they were wrapped in stretchers for transport and medicated for the trip out. They said they didn't knock them out but they appear to have been pretty much "lights out" based on what one rescuer was saying.
