The hero divers who rescued 12 boys and their football coach from a Thai cave | ITV News

ITV News published this video item, entitled “The hero divers who rescued 12 boys and their football coach from a Thai cave | ITV News” – below is their description.

Three summers ago, the world was focused on events in a dark network of flooded caves in Thailand. A group of young Thai footballers was trapped.

Everything – time, oxygen and hope – was running out. Step forward two perhaps unlikely heroes, from Britain.

Now the story of their bravery in finding and rescuing the boys is being re-examined in a new documentary – with pictures never shown at the time.

Did you know, for example, that taking each boy out took two and a half hours – most of it underwater?
