The final push to bring home four boys and their soccer coach by a crew of international and Thai divers began in earnest on Tuesday.
Officials confirmed they had restarted the rescue effort for the third day at 10 a.m. local time, or 11 p.m. Eastern time the prior night. As with the previous rescue efforts, 19 divers have gone into the cave, with two divers escorting each of the boys out of the cave with tethers.
"If everything goes to plan, all will come out today," an official said at a Tuesday midday press conference.
