British divers John Volanthen and Robert Charles Harper walk out of the Tham Luang caves during a search for the members of the 'Wild Boars' youth football team and their coach, in the northern province of Chiang Rai, Thailand, June 27, 2018. (Reuters file photo)Two British divers who helped rescue a Thai youth football team from a flooded cave had earlier saved four adults also stranded in the complex, according to a new report on a mission that gripped the world. The 12 boys and their coach from the "Wild Boars" club were trapped by rising waters as they explored the zig-zagging passages of the Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand on June 23. On the ninth day of a nail-biting rescue, British divers Rick Stanton and John Volanthen found the youth group dishevelled and thin on a muddy bank, where they had survived on rainwater dripping from rocks. Musk has called the caver, who was integral to the rescue because of his knowledge of Tham Luang, a "pedo" on his Twitter account.
