ABC to Air THAILAND MIRACLE BOYS - A 20/20 SPECIAL on September 2nd  Image

This summer the world watched in awe as a treacherous mission was staged to save 12 boys and their soccer coach from a flooded cave in Thailand. Now that the team is safe, a special edition of "20/20" features ABC News foreign correspondent James Longman's exclusive interview with the boys and the coach, Ekkapol Chantawong, known as Ek. Watch a clip from the upcoming interview below!

The boys open up about previously unknown details including the excitement they felt when they first entered the cave, their time studying at a Buddhist temple after the rescue, and their enthusiasm and dreams for the future - including one boy who says he wants to become a Navy SEAL. Coach Ek sheds new light and details on the moment he first realized they were trapped, how he kept the boys calm in the cave and how grateful he is that they are all alive.

More intimate, revealing details from Coach Ek's and the boys' perspective airs on "20/20" only on the West Coast, Sunday, Sept. 2 (10:00 - 11:00 p.m. PDT), on ABC.

"20/20" is anchored by David Muir and Amy Robach. David Sloan is senior executive producer.
