. >> announcer: this san abc's news special report. thailand rescue, race against time. >> hello from new york, i'm dan harris alongside paula ferris. and we are coming on the air with some great news about the rescue operation to save members of that young soccer team and their coach trapped in a cave in thailand for more than two weeks. >> and that was the scene just outside the cave where it's already sunday night as four of the players were brought to safety just a few hours ago in what's been a complicated and risky operation. >> they were taken to the hospital by ambulance and my helicopter. they're now being evaluated and treated. >> the boys flange ages 11 to 16 were extract the at a pace much faster than expected. >> it's an incredible

development. divers had been standing fwoi make this rescue. they started the operation overnight. they started bringing the first boys out late last night thailand time which was early this morning here u.s. time. they came, those boys from nearly three miles deep inside that cave. >> and we want to show you a virtual view of the tresh chorus route that the divers took them through in an operation that will continue in the hours to come. four have been rude, eight remain along with their soccer coach. >> let's go to matt on the scene in thailand. what are you hearing now, matt? >> reporter: it was a stupendous day for these people, dan and paula. what they're doing right now is trying to regroup. you may be able to see some traffic behind me. they're sending more oxygen tanks back into that cave area. they've got to replenish the pu oxygen in there. there's some concern that the oxygen levels have dipped. we don't expect them to begin extracting additional boys,

those eight boys left plus the coach probably for another six or seven or eight hours. not until morning. they're going to regroup and try to go at this again. the way they did it as you described is complex. it's this chore graefd dance. each one of the boys had two divers with them. they were conveyed along this serpentine route yound ground, some of it underwater for miles. they staud at certain chambers where there was much more air to regroup and asets boy's health and they moved on. the first one came out at about 5:40 p.m. local time, the next one about 20 minutes later. then an hour and a half or so later the other boys came out separated by about ten minutes. i can tell you at this intersection where we've seen so much activity, there's a line of soldiers here who saluted the rescue workers had they came out. it was an amazing moment. this is an incredibly tort, y

you're russ and different thing to do. not only do they have to travel hours on end, but the ceiling has jagged course rock, they have to deal with the water and the possible fear of these boys panicking while they have these full face masks on their face. but it seems that everybody did splendidly well and obviously those boys are now recovering at a hospital likely suffering from some sort of exhaustion or something, but from exhaustion, clearly an ordeal for them. >> thank you, matt. so far, a best case scenario, but they're not out of the woods yet. james amolongman is also on the ground there. james, eight boys remain in that cave as well as their coach. it's a race against time and it looks like the rains are coming. >> reporter: yeah, that's been the whole issue from the very beginning, paula, to beat the rain. and the whole issue is the water

level in that cave. from the very start, at least when we knew these boys were in the cave, because remember, to begin with, for the first few days they were lost and there was no sign of them. the rescuers discovered they were there, there was real jubilation in the camp where everyone was based, and then the realization that they actually had to be gotten out. the aim was to bring down the warm water, that was the problem for the last few days. even though the camp was dry, they couldn't bring it down as much as they would have liked, it was brought down one to two centimeters a day. one pump had 400 horsepower working around the clock. they put dams in to get the water diverted around the cave. it seems the water was brought out from some of the morediul p was preventing the boys from being able to come out without having to dip their head under

the water. rescuers said they did not want these boys to have to fully submerge themselves for extended periods of time. they used underwater jackhammers to break down the rock. but now, as you can see, the rain has returned and it's unclear what that's going to do to the situation inside the cave. if they built enough dams to make sure the rain won't make a difference. remember, these caves sit under an enormous mountain range. it is basically a natural drainage system for a jungle. and all that water is seeping down into a limestone cave. water comes in from all over the place, it seeps inside. tonight there will be a little bit of concern that this rain could make a difference. hopefully it isn't strong enough to delay the rescue operation. rescuers have been saying, authorities have been saying they're fully committed to getting the rest of these boys out. this, if anything, is going to push them to do it. >> it's a great day, but to uderline your point, there's a

reason for concern. nine families worried about their children and the family of course of the coach, the 25-year-old coach who led them into that cave and has subsequently apologized for it. one reason for hope is that they began, they told us, with the four weakest boys. they wanted to get them out first. the fact that they were able to take the weakest boys and move ahead of schedule, that has to be a source of optimism. and i wonder if we can get you to talk a little bit, james, since you've been on the scene from the very beginning of this story, about how the mood has shifted in various ways over the past two weeks. >> reporter: dan, it's been a real ride. ryhere i think probably ly on to most of the kind of international types like us came here thinking, could they really find these boys in this enormous cave? we were told how big it was. it goes from thailand into myanmar, another country. this cave system is enormous. the idea that they would even find them at the very beginning was kind of ludicrous.

but lo and behold, they did. they even found them further inside the cave than they had originally anticipated, so it was great euphoria. but then it really did dawn on everyone in the camp how difficult it was going to be to get these boys out. there was a really, really strong current. we saw images of rescue divers pulling themselves hand over fist along ropes to try to get themselves up that cave. five, six hours of diving for very fit, strong navy s.e.a.l.s. then of course a few days ago the sad death of one of those former thai naval seal rescue volunteers who had spent his time bringing oxygen tanks into the cave. he ended up dyi o lack of oxygen. that was probably the lowest it's been since the beginning of this whole situation. it's a reminder of how difficult this whole process has been, his death. andier ieyes, as you say, a re.

>> i just see a range of emotions that so many have endured. they have to take a break, james, to pump more oxygen into the caves and then they'll resume trying to extract the remaining eight boys and the soccer coach. james, thank you. i can't imagine what those families are going through right now. we want to join adrian adrienne bankert. >> reporter: we know the boys are on that eighth floor which has been reserved, we're told by officials, for all 13 coming out of that cave. they will be reunited with their families. we know they'll be undergoing complete medical evaluations. besides what was done for them inside that cave, all along the way they've had interests and nurses and paramedics alongside of them. we saw from what officia

james and matt have been reporting on that. then they were transported to an ambulance, which took them to a helicopter, which took them to another ambulance, which brought them to this hospital's doorstep. we know they'll be checked for infections. there is a cave disease called airborne lung infection that is of concern, just from being inside the cave and the conditions there, the dampness of the cave, being around water, being in the water, mean there are concerns that they need to be treated for bacterial infections. and the mental and emotional state, being in the dark that long, throwing off circadian rhythms, being away from family and friends, being away from a normal routine. these are young soccer players ages 11 through 16. imagine they're trapped inside this enclosed space for two weeks straight.

it was already mentioned this coach really has been adding to the camaraderie and the hopefulness of the team, keeping these young boys alive and alert. but they will be treated, if any of them post traumatic stress disorder, which doctors are told us is certainly possible, where they'll have nightmares or be concerned about being in close spaces or fearful of the dark. but again, they'll be all treated here on that eighth floor and reunited with their families. and that is a good thing, paula and dan. >> absolutely, but we can't say it enough, there are eight more children in there yet to be rescued along with their coach. adrienne in the hotel in chiang rai, we appreciate it. this image underscores the poignancy and team nature of this rescue, a picture put out on facebook by the royal thai navy s.e.a.l.'s, with the caption, we will bring out the wild boar team, the soccer team, they're the wild boars. we'll bring them back home,

hooyah. the wild boars, eight of them still in the cave tonight. there are 18 divers who participated in today's rescue, 13 foreigners, five thai navy s.e.a.l.s. let's go back to matt gutman to talk about what a team effort this is, what an international effort this is. >> reporter: you know, we focus on the divers a lot. and we talk about those 13 divers who physically escorted -- or 13 foreigners who physically escorted those boys out of the cave, or at least the first four. really this has been a massive, herculean effort. there are 90 total divers involved in today's rescue alone, 50 of them foreigners, there's a margin numbelarge num. we've had people from all over the world haul gas tanks into the cave. there are people who have laid rope communications set up from places like israel. there are divers from finland and belgium and holland and england and the united states. it has really truly been an

international effort. one of the things you have to commend the thai authorities for, they are not ashamed to ask for help. they've invited us in as if we're their own family. everybody i've spoken to says the atmosphere has been incredible, so participatory and accessible. it's incredibly difficult work but they've felt like they're part of this thai family. to be able to cap it off with the first four rescues has been tremendous for so many of those involved here. >> the international community is certainly rejoicing, this has been an inspiring and collaborative effort. matt, it's dark where you are, almost midnight in thailand. thai officials said they're going to take a break, about a 10 to 20-hour break from extracting the boys and their soccer coach. can you explain to everyone at home why that's necessary? >> reporter: i think because they had so many people involved in this rescue, it literallypuse

asioenormomount of pumps pushing water out, millions of gallons at a time. there are divers who are spent, they're tired. and they have literally posted hundreds of air tanks along the route for the divers and their teams around them, multiple, multiple people to use as they go through. one diver described it to me as like climbing mt. everest. it's so physically exerting. today we spent an hour in a careful similar to it, minus the water, and in five minutes i was huffing and puffing. they have to rebuild the stockpiles of air tanks, pumping in oxygen to make sure the other boys and their coach are ready for this journey. they probably not to do it without the rain and without all this mud and the darkness. so even the people who are in support roles outside the cave don't have to suffer through

these conditions as well. so the key goal right now is not only to get the boys out, but to get them out safely. there are so many pitfalls in that cave. i think after today's success, they want to take it slowly. again, from the start they told us this could take three to four days. and we hope it doesn't, but i think they are willing to take that time if they feel like they need of this. >> it's a herculean task. the camaraderie, the cooperation, really the best of humanity on display here. matt gutman and the rest of our team covering this story in chiang rai, thank you. we here on abc news will stay on this story, both on abc news and abcnews.com. we return you to regular programming but our coverage will continue. >> we'll update you with breaking news. we'll have a full wrap-up on "world news tonight." dan and i thank you for watching. >> announcer: this has been a special report from abc news.

hours at the earliest. the four rescued boys were rushed to the hospital as soon as they were pulled from that cave. we have video of ambulances and a helicopter apparently transported one of the boys. abc news reporter adrienne bankert has more from outside the hospital. >> reporter: the eighth floor is reserved for those boys. the good news as you heard from matt, the four boys we know are here are healthy. they will run through a complete medical evaluation while here at the hospital as well as be reunited with their families on that eighth floor. we also know that while they were still inside the cave in that staging area, they had a series of tests run on them and they had nurses and doctors assigned to them to try to treat them while still at the cave site. but once here, they're going to undergo a complete evaluation. and we know that four ambulances have come through this police barrier with lights flashing, with a police and medical

escort. we don't know exact details as to who was inside those four opened the barricade behind us here. you can actually see the entrance to the hospital, that green fabric shrouding the front entrance. we know for sure one of those first out of the cave was a 13-year-old boy. again, the weakest of the 12 boys inside that cave brought to this hospital. we are ecstatic that four of them are now out safely for sure. >> abc news foreign correspondent james longman has been in thailand since news broke the boys were missing. james explains why the boys and their soccer coach went to that cave in the first place. >> reporter: this was a place where many people in thailand, in this part of thailand, come. it was a place that this particular soccer team and their coach liked to come to hang out, to see how far and then come back. as you say, 2.9 miles. and then the flash floods came. they went in there when it was dry. if you think about the land,

when it is dry and compact earth like that, there is no rain, then suddenly it comes straight down and runs into the tunnels, and in two hours it flooded. they found themselves in that cave unable to get out. for days and days no one knew where they were, they didn't have any idea that they were alive. the press when those two british divers popped up in the cavern where they were, on the muddy bank, we saw the amazing images of the boys sitting cross-legged on the bank, looking at them and smili. there was jubilation but then real concern because the water level was so high. they spent days and days trying to get it down. and then they had to speed up the process because started to concern officials here. we had that former navy s.e.a.l.

who very sadly died on the way back from laying oxygen tanks. it all looked extraordinarily bleak for quite a long time over the last few days. i have to say, this mission tonight has really taken a lot of people by surprise. it's gone a lot quicker than i think we anticipated. but like we say, tonight more boys and their coach are sleeping in that cave, and tomorrow it will be another big day. >> that was james longman reporting. key details on why those boys went into that cave and how they are getting out. be sure to stay with abc 7 news as we continue to follow this breaking story. you can download the abc 7 news app and enable push alerts to get all the new developments right on your phone. local news now, richmond police need your help finding a driver involved in a hit and run that left a man in grave condition. this is a surveillance picture of the car. the crash happened around 12:40 yesterday morning at 23rd street
