The rescue may have wound up using something similar to the sub idea.
There are reports that the kids were administered an anti-anxiety drug so they wouldn't panic, and strapped to a stretcher wearing a full-face dive mask. That would kind of be an open submarine.
There are conflicting reports on this though, as an earlier report said the kids swam through the deeper parts but were carried on a stretcher through the drier parts. However it seems like it would be easier to just keep the kid on a stretcher, especially if there was some risk of the sedative/antianxiolytic drug having an unusual effect on the kid.
- jandrese 8y agoThe one constant about the Thai rescue was that the reporting was absolute garbage. I heard so many conflicting reports that I doubt anybody not at the scene has a total grasp of the details. At one point I was reading an article on CBS about how the coach was first out because he was in the worst health, and hearing a report on NPR about how the coach was going to be last. Kids were out, then they weren't, then they were again, then they had contracted some kind of fatal disease, then it was a precautionary quarantine, etc... Hopefully whomever writes the book gets his information firsthand.
