Great article.

As a side note: a movie based on these events is being produced.

As a side note too: a documentary/movie about finnish cave divers who went back to cave in Norway to retrieve bodies of their deceased buddies.

If I remember correctly, those UK divers were asked to help here but refused. The only time they did so.


They tried, but decided it was too risky when realizing that the recovery had to be done from the far side: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36097300


Let's hope it turns out better than the movie that was made of the Chilean miner rescue ("The 33")! Following the very successful award winning book it had an all-star cast... and it sucked. It had all the drama of watching paint dry.
