The 2018 Tham Luang Cave Rescue

Tell me your favorite episode for the 6th anniversary show! In 2018, twelve boys and their soccer coach entered a cave in northern Thailand and were trapped when monsoon rains flooded the passage behind them. What followed was a race against time involving thousands of rescuers, expert cave divers, engineers, soldiers, and doctors from around the world. Against overwhelming odds, they attempted one of the most dangerous and complex rescues ever undertaken. Amazingly, every single one of the trapped people survived.
