Boy rescued from Thai cave says moment of being found was ‘miracle’

Chiang Rai (Thailand) (AFP) – One of the 12 boys dramatically rescued from deep inside a Thai cave said Wednesday the moment they were found by British divers was a “miracle”.

“It is a miracle,” Adul Sam-on, 14, told a press conference as the 12 members of the football team and their coach appeared in public for the first time since the rescue.

The “Wild Boars” team entered the cave on June 23 after practice. They  were found nine days later by two British cave divers, but spent a total of 18 days inside before being extracted.
