hello to you I'm so glad that we coming out of the cave alive you are true heroes follow your dreams keep in touch about guys hi wild boars I say I hate even during your time here in England obviously we will heard what you went through yeah I heard they passionate about football from Terry to keep it up loving the game straight to have you back here safe and sound so all the best for me and everyone at lemon England as well malleson Josh Bradley and Connor Rowe are here with us now representing that team a big team also there's John Valentin as well and Chris Jill I said welcome all of you it's lovely to have you here so it's great to be sleepy I mean you're reunited with the guys last night but temper as far as your story is concerned I mean you're like another emergency service when I was reading it this morning him you're all on call I mean it's very specific knowledge and ability that you have and you could you know on pages you could be pulled out anywhere to do it when you got this call what did you think we thought it was going to be a very difficult rescue because it turned out to be there was a lot of risk involved and we you know we have to formulate a plan that minimized the risk but it was always going to be a risky operation but the alternative was to leave them in there yes and they would not survive because there was a there was it crossed your minds that you were going in for a recovery until they were found you know you nobody thought that it would still be alive that yeah yes Kollek this was your first rescue mission that's right yes so we we practice a lot for K rescues but it was my first major incident I was involved in yeah so what that feeling when when the team made first contact with them and they were actually all only what was that like it was really fantastic to hear they were alive and well I was one of the recovery divers so I brought one of the bots what about three other boys out from where they were trapped back to chamber three and then Josh and Connor were part of the support team so they were deployed back through the cave so when we got to something like the canal sectioned all we needed to change cylinders they were there to s this with that because this was as the world held its breath we were all very much aware of how difficult this was going to be that someone had already lost their life in the in the attempt and and you were you had to bring them out what as we know one by one in stages but you're dealing and we were all saying at the time we were watching it look this is so incredible because there they've never dived before they've never worn diving equipment so how do you how do you convince all of those boys who are going to do this for the FIR time in conditions actually the professionals were beef would find challenging you can't see anything at all put this mask on and trust me we told him a couple of days before what the options were you know you've got two options here it's dive out and this is how we're going to do it or the potential is to stay in here but he's very likely you're not going to survive so they had a couple of days to think about it for others how calm and collected the boys were if there have been hysterical crying a lot it would have been a different story completely so credit to them they were so calm and collected there was an issue with with mark on the end I think mark was the last one to come out wasn't he that's right yeah and so what what was the problem there was a mask wasn't it so there were 13 boys so we did four on the first four on the second there but obviously you've got five left on the on the last day and we only had four working masks so we took a fifth one in that had only been flown in from the UK the night before and because it marks quite a small lad it didn't fit his first properly so we couldn't use the mask we wanted to use but luckily we've taken a spare one in which wasn't quite as robust and the seer wasn't as good as the ones we've been previously using but we have no choice yeah they've been raining all night the waters were going to come up him imminently we couldn't leave him behind so it was a risky earth recovery that one can you ask mark mark how he felt with that knowing that they know that he'd had that you've got a different mask no maccalister Pyongyang I didn't knock on all them and beg them to confront hoon for you see you one minute I thought I won't be able to come out well well you are a remarkable team as we said you're spearheading a very large group of people who
