Victory signs after cave rescue
French player dedicates World Cup semifinal win to Thai boys
MAE SAI, Thailand - As ecstatic relatives watched and waved from behind a glass barrier, the 12 boys and their soccer coach rescued from deep within a flooded cave in Thailand made the V-for-victory sign on Wednesday from their beds in a hospital isolation ward where they are recovering from the 18-day ordeal.
A US rescuer involved in the operation described the perilous zero-visibility dives that brought the boys out safely as a "once-in-a-lifetime rescue".
