Thais fight water and oxygen levels in cave as diver dies

MAE SAI, Thailand (AP) -- Thai authorities overseeing the rescue operation for 12 boys and their soccer coach trapped in a flooded cave in the country's north said they have a "limited amount of time" to get them out, as they raced Friday against worsening weather and lowered oxygen levels in the underground complex.

The massive operation inside and around Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Chiang Rai province suffered its first fatality Friday when a former Thai navy SEAL passed out underwater on an overnight mission and was unable to be revived.

"We can no longer wait for all conditions (to be ready) because circumstances are pressuring us," Thai SEAL commander Arpakorn Yookongkaew told a news conference. "We originally thought the boys can stay safe inside the cave for quite some time but circumstances have changed. We have limited amount of time."
 
Four of the 12 boys trapped with their soccer coach in a cave in Thailand for 16 days were successfully extracted by divers in an hours-long subterranean rescue mission that has gripped the attention of the world, according to the Thai Navy SEALs.

The first four boys who were rescued, described as the weakest of the group, were removed from the cave a couple of minutes apart, immediately placed into ambulances and rushed to a hospital, authorities told ABC News. The conditions of the boys were not immediately known.

It will take five hours for rescuers to reach the boys from the entrance of the cave, and six hours to bring back the boys, including an hour break time. Ten divers headed to chamber 9, where the boys are located, while the others will be located along the difficult route out of the cave system.

BEIJING, July 25 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang said Wednesday that there was "no winner in a trade war," calling on the United States to withdraw from the wrong path and not to go any further.
 
I don't think we got much sense out of either of them but this merger will prevent Fairfax from going under at least.

It is a shame he can't compete, seems as though he tried hard, I wonder if it is a sign of things to come.

Definitely a sign of things to come imagine how small business is affected if Dick Smith can't compete.
We are in an era of change where the lowest price rules regardless of how it's achieved.
I'd rather pay a bit more and deal with smaller Australian companies.
Alas the majority cant see past their own selfish interests and they will pay the price because when the competition is eliminated profit gouging will come in , in ernest.

You're dead right, the same people voted Aldi the best supermarket. It is similar to everyone screaming about Holden and Ford shutting down, but nobody bought them.
 
Trump has the answer
Bring back tariffs to support OUR COUNTRY!
Free trade is great for those who over supply and manufacture
with a cost of living 1/10th of competitors.
Cant have it both ways someone is going to lose.

They don't allow labour at 10th our wage structures for companies.
Why should they allow imports in that are cheaper than our COST!
