After a harsh 18-day ordeal all twelve boys and their soccer coach have been rescued from a treacherous cave in northern Thailand.

The remaining four boys and their soccer coach were brought to safety on Tuesday evening, deemed a “miracle” by many Thailand locals.

Aged 11 to 16, each of the boys, with no diving or swimming experience, were guided out by a pair of divers in three days of high-stakes operations, which claimed the life of former Thai Navy Seal Saman Kunan on Friday.
