It was the beginning of monsoon season, or some might say monsoon season came early and a sudden and torrential downpour came down that was so extreme that it just flooded the cave. And so when they turned back, they had probably been walking a little distance back when all of a sudden they got to a certain juncture where they were supposed to essentially go right.

And Wright was now filled with water, just completely filled with water. And so what Coach Eck did right then is he said, OK, we're going to try to find a way out. And so he decided to dive in. He tied a rope around his waist and he told the members of the soccer team, you know, when I pull on the rope, pull me back out.

But after about two minutes, he hadn't pulled on the rope and they were panicking. So they pulled him back out. And it's a good thing they did because he'd gotten a little stuck, a little disoriented. He had not found a way out. He was starting to struggle, and they essentially saved his life.

At this point, the water had filled up kind of up to this juncture, so they kind of went in deeper. They knew they weren't going to be getting out any time in the next few minutes, and they decided to, we're going to be spending the night here. They lie down. They got together for warmth.

And the first thing they noticed is that the water was creeping on them. They thought they'd gone deep enough, but they hadn't. There's even more water coming into the cave.
