Breaking Fixedness: Saving the Boys of the Thai Soccer Team Trapped in a Cave

Elon Musk and his team are thinking creatively to rescue the boys' soccer team trapped in a cave in Thailand. They are breaking fixedness by constructing an inflatable tube or a tiny capsule, which can pass through narrow caves. The traditional methods of rescue failed in the Chilean mining accident, and it was the ingenious escape tube that saved all the miners, which was a half-century-old Subtraction-inspired solution. Mining professionals were limited by their long history of innovation, which prevented them from thinking creatively. Eberhard Au's capsule was adopted as the gold standard for Plan B by the mining industry, and the Phoenix capsule in Chilean rescue was an enhanced version of Au's original design.
