In reply to Lankyman:
> I watched it on the box recently. Having been a caver who drew the line at cave diving I think the rescue was an absolute triumph of humanity overcoming almost insurmountable odds. I recall thinking at the time of the rescue that those trapped were almost certainly doomed. I'd put it up there as one of the most remarkable rescues ever made. It was so sad to hear that one of the boys died recently but at least he had more time. The mysticism element didn't worry me at all even if Rick Stanton's reaction was to say bollox. If I'd been there I'd be praying to the gods for a miracle.
Hear hear. In a World where the UK increasingly feels like it's heading in the wrong direction, this film felt like a beacon of hope for someone looking for something to believe in, championing as it does the amateur and unfashionable, and largely forgotten world of caving, and by extension lots of other minority pastimes requiring unique skills. As ever, a lump in my throat as I think about this. A truly incredible feat. Everyone should watch this film.
