Anyone see 4 corners last night?

Great show..really got to see how hard this all was..its sounded like a nightmare.

It was interesting to hear from the US team on the show, we didn't hear much from them during the rescue ..I did a bit of research after the show, they had the biggest team there besides the Thais of course, a team of 36 from the Pacific Operations Team which was the biggest contribution, we had 20.

Amazing the pumps came from all over the world, one came from the Czechs.

Just an incredible story...

Yep... saw it mate...and btw...thanks 42 for the heads up that it was on last night. how important were the poms in the first instance, then the yanks and finally and critically the aussies. I knew they'd sedated the boys but didn't realise Harris pretty much knocked them out completely....amazing stuff.

My pleasure BC I was fortunate to be alerted to it by a work colleague. I would recommend it to anyone who missed it. I expect it would be available via ABC's iview.

Yep, this cave diving is a bit of a thing in Britain as a hobby, ( goodness knows why) pot holing I think they call it. its typical excentric thing that the Brits like, its spread around a bit and has a following here as well, I think the Australian divers were off to the Nullabor Plain to explore pot holes and caves when they got the call.
