Tesla chief Elon Musk was developing a device to help in the rescue of the Thai boys from the complex cave network in Thailand. Musk has reached the spot with his kid-size submarine but the rescue operator head said it is not very practical to be put into uses. The final phase of the rescue mission to pull out the remaining 4 boys and their coach has begun.
Musk's efforts to develop the device have been making it to headline but unfortunately, it won't come to use. The mission head Narongsak Osotthanakorn said, "Even though their equipment is technologically sophisticated, it doesn't fit with our mission to go in the cave.Ā The equipment they brought to help us is not practical with our mission."

After successfully evacuating 8 boys over a course of two days, the third phase of the rescue operation of Thai boys has begun. Divers have descendedĀ into the flooded Tham Luang cave to get the remaining 4 boys along with their coach. The weather condition in the area is not very suitable which raises more concern.Ā āThe team of Thai and foreign divers has gone back in to try to bring out the last four boys and their coach, in what one person involved in the operation described as a race against time ā the rain is likely to increase water levels in the cave system," according to BBC's Jonathan Head. Everyone's hoping for a successful execution of the rescue plan in the final lap.Ā

All eyes are on the gruelling rescue operation of the 12 boys and their coach from the Thai football team from theĀ Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand. The rescue operations have been in full force from Sunday, with four boys rescued on the day one. On the second day too, experienced divers brought out 4 boys successfully. The operationsĀ have been planned for four boys per day as it takes 20 hours to reset all the oxygen tanks. Now with last 4 boys and their coach still inside, it remains to be seen if all the 5 of them will be rescued today.
Rescue chief Narongsak Ostanakorn has said that it all depends upon the weather conditions today to be seen if the operations can be extended to get one more person out together. The rescue operation for day three will be different than the earlier two as they were planned for a group of four. Two divers are assigned to each boy. OsatanakornĀ was quoted, āthe plan is designed for rescuing fourā and āfor safety, the best number is fourā.Ā Although the governor of Chiang Rai said he hopes for "100 percent success" and that all the five boys could be rescued.
The rescued boys are admitted at the Chiang RaiĀ Prachanukroh hospital for medical examination and they are reported to be stable. The groupĀ went missing since June 23 when they visited the complex caves for an outing. The heavy rainfall and floods in the caves made it difficult to spot them.
