Thai cave rescue boys wave from hospital beds as they begin their recovery   

The boys who spent at least two weeks trapped in a dark, damp cave waved to the world from their hospital beds on Wednesday in their first public appearance since they were saved.

The boys vanished June 23 with their 25-year-old coach after seasonal rains flooded the caverns and narrow passages, blocking their exit from the popular tourist destination.

Nine days later, two expert cave divers found the trapped group.

The boys were rescued one-by-one in a complex operation involving international teams that began Sunday and finally ended Tuesday.

All the children survived, but a Thai Navy SEAL, Petty Officer Saman Kunan, died during the rescue.
