Footage shows emergency workers and police forces in the area, and the final ambulances rushing them to Prachanukroh Hospital in Chiang Rai.

The team of 12 boys and their 25-year-old coach entered the cave as part of an excursion but became trapped after a sudden, continuous downpour of rain flooded the underground area. They were found alive after a 10-day operation carried out by Thai forces and international rescue teams.
