Re: “One Day Longer and Those 13 Boys Would Be Dead”
#12Good lord, I am hyperventilating just reading this. The people that went in and saved these boys are amazing. I am glad the author took the time to pull this together to share the story of the divers as well. Absolutely amazing - mind-boggling amazing - what dedicated, skilled, selfless people can do.
I was wondering how far they had to dive as soon as I started reading, and then when they finally revealed it I was like "holy hell!"
It was mentioned that one of the drivers damaged his gear going in, and that's the case where it's something attached to your body, which you can develop a fair amount of feeling for, like you get used to driving a car and just know how wide it is. I can't imagine how it must feel to drag along a sedated human when you can't see anything. There must have been situations where you accidentally hit some obstacle with one of the kids and then this dreaded feeling of not knowing if you displaced the mask and are now dragging a kid drowning in it's sleep across the mud for another hour.
As cheesy as it might sound, this is one of these rare stories that restore faith in humanity. Absolutely amazing.

#13What effect did the sedation have? Were they still conscious?

I don't think so, towards the end the diver stated:
> If need be, we were to give them another shot of ketamine in case they were waking up.

It redirected to a paywall when I clicked it. (But it was that exact link, before the redirect. Strange.)
Someone archived it too, eventually. Looks like archive.is/archive.today rewrites links to URLs it has archived.

Yea this sounded pretty strange to me,
Im aware sedation slows breathing down, so some oxygen can be saved if human attached to tank is not hyperventilating for hours,
Pretty crazy the kids were sedated and hands bound and feet tied!

#20“ Together with Finnish journalist Johanna Elomaa, I wrote the book "Sukellus Valoon" (Diving into the Light) about my experiences during the rescue mission and how it changed my life”
^ From page 2 of the article. I Googled for this book but wasn’t able to find anywhere to buy it. Supposed to have been published in 2018. Perhaps no English version yet... was anyone able to find the book?
