NUTTAKARN SUMON in Chiang Rai, Thailand ROLAND OLIPHANT in London T hey allowed themselves smiles, but there was no cheering among the exhausted rescuers emerging from the Tham Luan cave system in northern Thailand Sunday night. With the first of the monsoon rains already fall- ing on the limestone hills above their heads, Thai navy SEALs and elite cave divers from around the world had pulled off what many thought was im- possible — guiding four boys though a terrifying underwater journey in one of the most daring res- cue operations of modern times. But with heavy rain setting in at dusk, it was plain to authorities and locals alike that they now faced a race against time to rescue the remain- ing eight boys and their 25-year-old coach from their air pocket prison four kilometres inside the mountain, and the biggest challenge was yet to come. The four boys who swam out Sunday were se- lected because they were the strongest of the team. It is unclear how weaker, more vulnerable members will manage the journey. “If we wait and the rain comes in the next few days, we will be tired again from pumping and our readiness would drop. If that’s the case, then we have to reassess the situation,” Narongsak Osottanakorn, the former Chaing Rai governor, who is overseeing the rescue, warned late Sunday night. “We can only carry on the operation once we are ready — and this will be done soon, because the air tanks and other systems have to be reinstalled,” he added as rescue work was halted for the night. Sunday’s operation will be remembered as an extraordinary achievement in a drama that has left Thailand and the world holding its breath. The Wild Boars soccer team and their assistant coach went missing after heavy rains blocked the exit of the cave complex, which they were explor- ing after practice, on June 23. The group were found sheltering on a ledge in an air pocket four kilometres inside the cave on July 2 by Rick Stanton, a British former firefight- er, and John Volanthen, an IT consultant from Brighton, England, who are considered among the best cave divers in the world. Authorities had considered several possible strategies, including drilling an escape shaft from above or pumping out enough water to enable them to walk out. Diving out was always considered the most dangerous option.

High threshold for dangerous
driving charges
B r i a N p l a t t
Prosecutors face a difficult task making 29 criminal charges stick against the semi driver involved in the
deadly crash of the Hum-boldt Broncos team bus.
Dangerous driving char-ges have to meet a high threshold regardless of the death toll of a crash, and a momentary lapse of atten-tion on the part of a driver is generally not enough to se-cure a conviction.
The truck driver, 29-year-old Jaskirat Sidhu, faces 16 counts of dangerous oper-ation of a motor vehicle
causing death and 13 counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing injury. He could face many years in prison if convicted.
The Crown will need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Sidhu’s actions showed a “marked depar-ture” from what a prudent driver would have done under similar circumstances.
The Saskatchewan RCMP laid the charges on Friday af-
ter an extensive three-month investigation that included 6,000 photographs, more than 60 interviews, analysis of the semi driver’s log book, evidence gathered from aer-ial drones and a forensic re-construction of the collision.
Above all else, a trial would depend on the evi-dence submitted in court — and the RCMP have released almost nothing to the public about that yet.
Among crucial questions that will be considered if the case goes to trial:
Did Sidhu blow through the stop sign in his path? Was he speeding? Was he blinded by the setting sun? Was his view blocked by the bluff of trees? Was the truck in good working condi-tion?
“What we can say about the evidence that we’ve gath-ered is limited, as this mat-ter is before the courts,” said Supt. Derek Williams, who led the investigation, on Fri-day.
