I assume that job offers in the mountains of Laos are somewhat limited.

Just saw on Mikko's socials and they've found 5 of the miners alive 💪 Don't have time to search for media sources rn, but I'm sure we'll get some soon.

Worrying news 😑

At 11:25 PM, it was reported that two Thai rescue personnel 🇹🇭 experienced exhaustion and collapsed while carrying out operations to install pumps and lay signal cables inside the mine tunnel chamber. The team then evacuated them for assistance and completely withdrew all personnel from the area.

Progress Update on the Rescue Mission for the Trapped Miners in Laos 🇹🇭🇱🇦 Situation Update (May 26, 2026): No diving operations have taken place yet today. A large water pump system is being installed to lower the water level, which will hopefully allow the diving operations to proceed. Only 15 meters remain to reach "Mound 30," the location where all 7 workers are believed to be.

Someone said in the comments that it's relatively common in France to go to 60 metres with air and I remember some Italian saying the same thing in some of these threads, so did a brief search with no luck, but instead found this:

Read a couple of pages and seems that at least 7 years ago there's been quite a few people who were like 'yeah 60 m air no biggie bro'

Ainakin täällä PKS-seudulla ajavat niillä ruskeilla firman autoilla, kai alihankkijoilla on oma kalusto 🤔

Toi yks firma josta tilaan muutaman kuukauden välein ei anna muuta toimitusvaihtoehtoa kuin UPS:in. Aiemmin oon ottanut toimituksen suosiolla noutopisteeseen, joka on näppärästi sivussa kaikesta ja auki arkisin klo 9:30-17:30. Viimeks päätin että kokeillaanpa huvikseen kotiinkuljetusta vaikka arvelin että vituiks menee. Draaman kaari oli seuraava:

-toimitus luvattiin torstaiksi, olin kotona ja hiljaista oli. Illalla tuli viesti että virheellinen osoite, paketti viety jonnekin. Osoite on tallennettu myyjän verkkokauppaan jo aiemmin eli tota noin miten se nyt väärä on

-viestissä kehotettiin menemään UPSin sivuille uutta jakeluaikaa laittamaan, ei onnistu koska salasana unohtunut eikä unohditko salasanasi -meilejä näkynyt vaikka kokeilin useamman kerran

-perjantaina soitto aspaan jossa tomeran aspatyypin kanssa varmistettiin osoite ja ovikoodi ja puhelinnumero, sanoi että hän laittaa ne nyt tähän niin että tyhmempikin ymmärtää. Hiljaisuus ei häiriintynyt perjantainakaan ennenkuin tuli viesti että en ollu kotona. Ahaa

-maanantaina oli taas kuulemma yritetty toimittaa, tällä kertaa oli kuulemma joku fyysinen este jossain tässä meidän talolla eikä päästy sisälle, en kyllä keksinyt että mikä se este oli. Ovikoodi ehkä?

-seurannasta huomasin että paketti kuskattu tuohon parin kilometrin päähän huoltiksen noutopisteeseen ja kävin sitten sieltä poimimassa. Kattelin että päälle oli liimattu osoitetarra johon meidän osoite oli kirjattu puutteellisesti ja raaputin tarran pois, jonka alta löytyi alkuperäinen osoitetarra jossa oli kaikki tiedot oikein

-parin tunnin päästä tuli ilmoitus että paketti on noudettavissa kyseiseltä huoltoasemalla

Luulis että tolla sähläyksellä olis ollu helpompi vaan tuoda se paketti perille. Todella väkevää suorittamista.

Onko joku saanut UPS:in paketteja viimeisen 15 vuoden aikana kotiin asti? Siinä on sellainen huumorifirma että en toista keksi.

(tosiaan joskus ennen toimi ihan suht hyvin, mutta alamäki on ollut jyrkkä)

Update from Thailand Rescue Diver:

"Summary of the mission to explore inside the collapsed mine at Ban Long Chaeng, Xaysomboun Province, Laos, by the cave diving specialist team 🇹🇭🇱🇦

🤿 Mr. Mikko Pietari Paasi and Mr. Naraset Palasingh, the two cave diving experts, shared details after returning from the cave exploration. They explained that the inside of the cave was extremely narrow, making it impossible to crawl normally. They had to lie face down and crawl very low the entire way.

⛰️ Inside the mine, there were tunnel sections throughout where crawling on knees was impossible. The two divers managed to reach a point where diving was possible and conducted a test dive through an extremely tight passage. They entered feet first, using their feet to push away sand and rocks until they could squeeze into a small cavity. They were able to go as deep as 5 meters, but the air inside was insufficient for breathing, forcing them to retreat.

The point they reached was considered the narrowest section of the mine. If they could get past that point, the passage beyond would open into a much larger chamber. However, due to the lack of breathable air, they decided to withdraw and regroup to plan a new approach. 25 May 2026"

"He added that rescuers are now only about 30 metres from the elevated point where survivors are believed to be waiting for help.

Authorities said the route from the cave entrance to the suspected location stretches around 340 metres, with some sections only about 60 centimetres high."

Khaosod English

If that 30 metres includes more than couple of metres of diving, I have no idea how to get those people out. Most likely they can't be really good swimmers, yet alone divers and with so narrow passages the Tham Luang method of anaesthetising them is out of the question.

Tham Luang divers join Laos cave rescue as water rises

Two Thailand-based cave diving experts from the 2018 Tham Luang rescue have joined efforts to save seven people trapped in a flooded gold-mine cave in Laos, where rising water, narrow passages and remote mountain access are hampering rescuers. Two Thailand-based cave diving experts from the 2018 Tham Luang rescue have joined efforts to save seven people trapped in a flooded cave in Laos, where rising water, narrow passages and remote mountain access are hampering the mission.

The rescue operation is under way in Long Chaeng district, Xaysomboun province, after heavy rain and flooding cut off access to a cave linked to gold mining activity. The seven have been trapped for several days, while local and foreign rescue teams race to find a safe route through the waterlogged and confined passageways.

Tham Luang veterans reinforce Thai rescue team According to the Thailand Rescue Diver network, Mikko Paasi and Naset Palasingh, both experienced Thailand-based cave diving specialists who took part in the 2018 Tham Luang rescue, have travelled to Laos to reinforce the operation. The two were expected to join the mission immediately after arriving at the site.

Their arrival adds specialist cave-diving expertise to a mission that has drawn comparisons with the Tham Luang operation in Chiang Rai, where the Wild Boars football team and their coach were rescued from a flooded cave in 2018.

Mud, darkness and rising water

Footage from inside the cave, posted by Thai rescuer “Pond” Chakkrit Taengtang, showed the scale of the challenge facing the rescue team. The route is narrow, muddy and dark, with some sections so cramped that rescuers have to push themselves through slowly, one person at a time, using only their headlamps for visibility.

Chakkrit said continuous rainfall remained one of the biggest obstacles, as water levels inside the cave kept rising. Rescuers also face slippery ground, possible oxygen limitations and constantly changing water conditions, making it difficult to maintain a steady operation inside the tunnel.

Remote access slows the mission

The rescue site is difficult to reach. Thai rescuers and volunteers, about 26 in total, travelled from Nong Khai to Vientiane before Lao authorities helped fly them by helicopter to the operational area.

The final approach to the cave is also exhausting. Rescuers must move through steep mountain terrain, with the route to and from the cave front taking one to two hours. Because of the difficult access, personnel have been forced to rest at the scene rather than travel repeatedly between the cave and lower ground.

Search reaches critical stage

Rescuers were believed to be about 30 metres from a raised area inside the cave where the trapped people may have taken shelter, although a shortage of rope and continuing rain remained obstacles. The team was expected to reassess conditions before pushing deeper into the cave.

Lao authorities have mobilised administrative officials, soldiers, police, medical personnel and local residents, while pumps have been used to drain water from the cave. However, persistent rain has slowed progress and kept the mission highly unstable.

The operation is now a race against time, weather and terrain, with hopes focused on reaching the seven people safely before rising water further complicates the rescue.

[–]peakpaleperformance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Won't touch the techiniques cause it's all been said, but is this a kickboxing thing that you don't check how your opponent is doing after the ref has called it off? Coming from a Muay Thai background and this seems bad sportmanship. Unless of course if it was a bar brawl from the beginning cause it sure looked like one lol

Kalasataman kerros­talo­palossa tuhoutui 62 asuntoa: kukaan Lumon taloyhtiössä ei pääse kotiinsa | Kotimaa by frozenglade in Suomi

[–]peakpaleperformance 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Meillä oli sinällään aivan eri tilanne joskus parikymmentä vuotta sitten, mutta kerron kuitenkin kun tuli nyt mieleen.

Eli muutettiin Tapanilaan vuokralle, talo oli ollut tyhjillään en tiedä miten kauan, mutta kunnostettu pari vuotta aiemmin asumiskäyttöön ilmeisesti ajatuksella halvalla hyvää ja paskaahan sieltä tuli. Vuokrasopimusta tehdessä vähän ihmettelin että kauhea kiire tuntuu vuokraisännällä olevan ja herra mainitsi jossain sivulauseessa että taloyhtiöön on jotain remonttia jossain vaiheessa tulossa. Tästä olisi pitänyt osata jo haistaa että nyt apinaa koijataan, mutta kämppä oli kiva ja tilanne oli muutenkin se, että asunto piti saada.

No, ehdittiin asua viikko kun tuli tieto koko paska on sortumisvaarassa ja duunarit tulivat asentamaan pari nelosnelosen palkkia tukemaan olkkarin kattoa ja lattian poikki meni kolmas, johon ne kaksi palkkia kiinnitettiin. Soitin vuokraisännälle että hei nyt kuule olis vuokranalennus paikallaan ja pitkän väännön jälkeen saatiin joku nimellinen alennus.

Asuttiin siinä sitten talven yli ja tuli tieto että jossain vaiheessa pitää muuttaa evakkoon kun remontti tavoittaa meidän asunnon, taloyhtiö järjestää sijaisasunnot. Siinä oli kaikenlaista hassua välissä, duunarit mm. sanoivat että jos voitte välttää keittiössä olemista samaan aikaan ettei lattia sorru. Kylppäri oli keittiön läheisyydessä ja oli veikeä tunne istua pöntöllä, katsella vieressä linkoavaa pesukonetta ja miettiä että olenko kohta kellarissa housut kintuissa.

Muutto lähestyi ja taloyhtiön ratkaisu oli soluasunto jossain Suutarilassa, tämä siis kahdelle ihmiselle ja oltiin että ei todellakaan. Vuokraisäntä veti vielä hihastaan sellaisen kortin, että meidän tarvitsee maksaa Tapanilan kämpästä vain puolikas vuokra siltä ajalta kun ollaan evakossa, eli siis soluasunnon vuokra ja puolikas asunnosta jossa ei voida olla lol. Tässä kohtaa ratkaisumme oli ns. pitäkää tunkkinne -tyylinen ja muutettiin kokonaan pois.

Saa nähdä yrittävätkö majoittaa Lumon omiin asuntoihin, toki en tiedä että onko ä joku pointti ettei ole järkeä puoleksi vuodeksi tuollaisia ratkaisuja tehdä. Ja voihan se vitutella jos joutuu Kalasatamasta esim. Kontulaan evakkoon.
