Fascinating audio interview with a Belgian diver who worked with the British divers to find the boys. He describes that when they first dived they thought it was too dangerous and madness to continue so they decided not to go any further. When they got back they found that the Thai SEALS were going to continue anyway. They realised that the SEALS did not have the skills, or proper cave diving equipment so they decided to go back in again and then found the boys alive.

Science Channel has an hour long program about covering the whole deal.
Must see TV


That way out with the kids was far worse than we knew.
Those were brave and dedicated men who saved them.
The world owes them all.

Agree with this. I'm sure we'll get documentaries over here but just seeing videos with interviews of the divers shows the task they had. The amazing thing is how humble and modest they all. Oddly the divers that found them, one comes from my home city of Bristol and the other comes from the city I live in now, Coventry. This fills me with pride and I'm sure the same feeling is felt by many people across the world. Also, shows what can be achieved when people from around the world come together in a common cause. Incredible people.

Superb documentary from ABC in Australia. Mainly interviews with the rescuers telling the story.
