Module 1
1. Sequence of events from when the group entered the cave to when they are rescued
Eon Musk has sent the team to caves but this created friction as the rescue operation went
underway. The head of investigative process has released Space X and CEO Tesla on social
networks regarding visiting this site where the operation center stated that mini- submarine was
on left that has been designed to ferry trapped football team members (Shapiro and Stefkovich
2016). Eon Musk first suggested that he might aid to spare captured children as well as their
football coach. After few days, he confirmed that Space X engineers and his enterprise would be
sent to Thailand. Mr Musk then chose to change Space X Falcon rocket into small submarine and
then reveal it online during test period (Bbc.com 2018). After few days, he said that submarine
might not assists in circumstances as teams that took rescue were impractical. While rescuing the
team, a driver died while repairing air tanks. As the underwater caves do not have escape routes,
it created difficulties for rescue operations in rescuing the team.
2. i) The people trapped within cave were team of twelve boys who visited the cave during their
expedition. They were recognized to be local football team members known as Wild Boars. The
football coach was also trapped with the team.
