Kunan’s final Facebook post was a picture of him proudly posing with his comrades at the mouth of the Than Luang cave where the boys are trapped with their coach. His death highlights the dangers of the rescue operation, especially the plan to try to teach the inexperienced youngsters how to dive so they can swim out of the cave.
