Thai cave rescue site to become a museum as a tribute to the operation
Thai Cave Rescue Site To Become A Museum Site As A Tribute To The Operation Rescuers who pulled a young Thai football team from deep inside a flooded cave were dismantling their worksite when plans emerged to turn the spot into a museum in tribute to the daring operation. Breathtaking footage of that rescue operation was released on Wednesday showing the youngsters -- aged 11 to 16 -- being stretchered to safety. They were also seen sitting cheerfully in their hospital beds, where they are being kept in isolation until doctors are sure they did not pick up any nasty diseases during more than two weeks in the dark. Rescue chief Narongsak Osottanakorn told reporters the site would ultimately be converted into a museum showcasing the clothes and equipment used during the dramatic rescue. "I believe it will become another highlight in Thailand," he said. "Tourists will come visit." National Park ranger Pinitpong Wongma told reports, "Nobody is allowed to go inside the cave at all even though there is still a lot of equipment there because water levels have been rising since the rescue mission," he said. -PTC News
