Sometimes a story pops up that the whole planet gathers around to hear. The trapped football team in the Thai caves was just such an event. Aside from the huge amount of work that went on to rescue the boys and their coach, imagine the situation underground. Would you be able to stay calm?

• How the Thai soccer team used meditation to stay calm when they were trapped
