British divers rescued four Thai adults from cave before saving trapped children

The headline unfortunately makes it sound like there was a conscious decision to rescue the adults before the children, whereas the article states:

"However, in a previously unknown twist, the two caving experts thought they had found the boys three days earlier when they surfaced from the zig-zagging submerged passageways into one of the cave’s chambers to find four people.

In fact, they had come across a group of inexperienced Thai water company workers who had got into difficulty during the chaotic early days of the rescue mission."
