奇跡這樣出現的！拯救泰國少年足球隊全紀錄
|
本周二，泰國政府從洪水淹沒的巖洞中救出了最后一批被困者，解救12名泰國少年及其足球教練的行動終于畫上了句號。 至此，走失的泰國少年足球隊成員全部脫險。雖然泰國官員并未透露獲救孩子們和25歲的教練身體狀況，但從失聯時間和營救的惡劣條件來看，能全部生還就稱得上一大奇跡。 救援行動期間，少年足球隊成員的親朋好友一直在巖洞附近祈禱，全球都在關注救援進展，包括美國科技業知名企業家、特斯拉和Space X的首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克。馬斯克主動提出旗下公司幫忙，將救援設備送到巖洞現場。不過后來泰國官方謝絕。 以下是按時間順序整理的整個搜尋和營救過程。 6月23日——泰國北部一處巖洞遭到洪水侵襲，洞穴內的12名11歲到16歲“野豬”少年足球隊隊員及其教練失聯。 6月24日——救援人員發現跡象顯示，失蹤者被困于距洞穴入口將近兩英里（約合3.2公里）處，但因洞內水位不斷上漲，搜救行動不得不暫停。 6月25日——泰國皇家海軍海豹特種部隊潛水員在洞壁上找到了疑似走失者留下的手印后，開始在洞內安裝水泵抽水。 6月27日——搜尋范圍擴大。約1000名泰國陸軍和海軍以及志愿者參與。國際社會也擴大了參與力度，美軍救援人員抵達泰國幫助搜救。 6月30日——雨勢緩和，潛水員進入洞穴搜尋，但仍未能找到被困的孩子。 7月2日——英國潛水員找到了被困者，無人遇難，他們都被困在洞內水面上方一處巖石上，距洞穴入口約2.5英里（約合4公里）。 7月3日——泰國海豹特種部隊潛水員給被困的少年足球隊成員送去帳篷、食物、水和醫療用品。泰國官員開始制定救出洞穴的計劃。 7月5日——埃隆·馬斯克在社交媒體推特上發帖表示，“如有需要樂意提供幫助”。 7月6日——馬斯克宣布，將派一批工程師赴泰國幫助救援。同日，參與救援的泰國海豹特種部隊隊員薩曼·古南在洞穴內潛水時氧氣耗盡不幸喪生。 國際足聯主席詹尼·因凡蒂諾表示，若被困的足球少年和教練能及時獲救，并且身體狀況允許，將邀請他們前往莫斯科觀看世界杯決賽。 7月7日——馬斯克提議用一種“孩童身材大小的微型潛艇”。這種微型潛艇由馬斯克旗下公司制造的軌道運載火箭改裝，可在八小時內完工。 得到泰國方面的更多反饋。主要方式是孩童身材大小的微型潛艇，用獵鷹號運載火箭的液態氧傳輸管道作為主體。很輕，兩個潛水員就能帶走，也很小，能通過狹窄的穴道。而且非常堅固。 ——埃隆·馬斯克 再次為泰國勇敢又頑強不屈的孩子和潛水隊而震撼。體現了人類的優秀品質。 ——埃隆·馬斯克 7月8日——救援人員進入洞穴，11小時后帶回四名男孩。 7月9日——經過九小時營救，又有四名男孩獲救。 7月10日——剩下的四名男孩和教練成功離開洞穴。截至美東時間10日9點30分，一名醫生和幾位潛水員還在努力撤離洞穴。對救援者來說，洞穴的危險仍然存在。（財富中文網） 譯者：Pessy 審校：夏林 |
The search and rescue portion of the mission to save 12 young boys and their soccer coach who were trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand is over, as authorities brought the final team members out on Tuesday. All of the missing people were brought out alive, though officials have not commented on the health of the extracted children and the 25-year old, but the recovery alone is being called a miracle, given the length of time the team was missing and the harrowing conditions surrounding their rescue. Friends and family kept vigil around the cave throughout the effort and the world was captivated by their plight. Among the onlookers was Elon Musk, who volunteered the services of his company, delivering equipment to the site, though officials ultimately declined to use it. Here's a timeline of efforts to locate, then rescue, the team. June 23—12 members of Wild Boar soccer team (aged 11-16) go missing, along with their coach, in a cave complex in northern Thailand after a flash flood. June 24—Rescuers are forced to suspend the search due to rising waters, despite having found evidence of the team nearly two miles inside the cave. June 25—Pumps installed to remove water after Thai Royal Navy SEAL divers find hand prints on the cave's wall, seemingly of the team. June 27—Search widens. Roughly 1,000 army and navy personnel, along with volunteers, join the search. International involvement expands, as the U.S. military arrives to help. June 30 - Rains ease enough for divers to make their way further into the cave, but still fail to find the children. July 2—British divers find the boys, who are still alive. They were standing on a shelf above the waters some 2.5 miles inside the cave. July 3—Thai SEALs deliver blankets, food, water and medical aid to the team. Officials begin formulating a plan to retrieve the team. July 5—Elon Musk tweets he would be "happy to help if there is a way to do so." July 6—Musk announces he will send a team of engineers to Thailand to assist in the rescue efforts. That same day, Saman Gunan, a Thai Navy SEAL, dies when his oxygen runs out as he's underwater in the caves. Gianni Infantino, the president of FIFA, invites the team and their coach to the World Cup finals, if they're rescued in time and healthy enough to attend. July 7—Musk proposes using a "tiny, kid-sized submarine" made from one of his orbital rockets. Construction of the sub is completed in eight hours. Got more great feedback from Thailand. Primary path is basically a tiny, kid-size submarine using the liquid oxygen transfer tube of Falcon rocket as hull. Light enough to be carried by 2 divers, small enough to get through narrow gaps. Extremely robust. ——Elon Musk Continue to be amazed by the bravery, resilience & tenacity of kids & diving team in Thailand. Human character at its best. ——Elon Musk July 8—Rescuers enter the cave and emerge with four boys 11 hours later. July 9—Four more boys are rescued after a nine-hour effort. July 10—The remaining four boys and the coach are retrieved from the cave. A doctor and a handful of divers are still working their way out as of 9:30am ET, so there's still some danger for rescuers. |
