Plants wilted

I put my plants in a grow box (5 sprouted seeds) about 2 foot x 1 foot x 1 foot with 2 CFL Bulbs. I had no outtake fan and all 5 plants wilted. They were in the grow box for a few hours and when I checked back the fan leaves just curled down, they lost width and turned brownish. I of course immediately took them out, but I want to know if the plants are worth trying to save? If so, how long until they should show progress, because overnight they are still in a similar form.

Some sprouts seem to be greening up a little more than others, I would like other opinions than my own of course. I just put them in the light a few hours ago, then were hiding under my bed most of today. I am wondering why the stems are so thin, is it because lack of light?

That's Pythium wilt! There is no chance to save them. Throw that soil away and the cups. Everything is contaminated!
It's possible to recover from a pythium wilt as I understand from other forums. I replanted these babies outside considering color was coming back. Of the 3 I replanted the top of the stem under the leaves was cut out, which I am pretty sure will die. The other I am hoping survive.
