Expert divers try to rescue 13 people trapped in Thailand cave

CHIANG RAI, Thailand – Thai authorities and rescue teams from across the globe have flocked to Thailand after 13 people became trapped inside a flooded cave.

A soccer team, 12 boys and their coach, have been trapped in the Tham Luang cave network since June 23, bringing the total number of days spent in the cave to 13.

Thai ex-Navy SEAL Saman Kunan died Friday morning after running out of oxygen on his way back from delivering oxygen tanks to the cave where the team is located, according to CNN.

Videos have now surfaced showing divers navigating some of the narrow passageways used to get to the soccer team.

Some of the flooded passageways used to get to the cave where the team is trapped are reportedly only the size of a single human being. 

With murky water rushing through the passageways and rescuers are concerned that having the boys dive out is a dangerous option.
