2THAI CAVE DISASTER
Question 1
Who were they?
The disaster had taken place in a cave that is located in the Chiang Rai province of
Northern Thailand. The people who had been trapped within the cave were a group of twelve
boys who had visited the cave as a part of an expedition. The boys were identified to be the
members of the local football team named Wild Boars. The children were accompanied by their
coach. The major reason behind the entry of the children and their coach into the cave is
expedition. The members of the concerned football team were missing since the 23rd of June
2018 (News.com.au 2018). The children who had entered the cave got trapped due to the rise in
the water levels in the only passage way that connected the cave to the mainland.
Question 2
Why did they go into the cave?
The major reason behind the entry of the children and their coach into the cave is
expedition. The boys along with their coach had visited the cave on the 23rd of June in order to
participate in an adventurous expedition. The children who had been trapped within the cave
were there as a part of the expedition that was led by their coach. The members of the football
team were known to have entered within the cave within the intention of having an adventurous
expedition within the cave that has not been explored properly till date (Bbc.com 2018). They
were inquisitive about the narrow passage way that was the only entrance way to the cave.
However, they got trapped when the water levels arose in the given tract thereby trapping them
in the cave.
