Sorry, I gave up after page 1. 11+ pages for part one? I would have just rather had the facts instead the pseudo-real drama of dialogue and story.

Its a very interesting read. I finished it as soon as I saw it on Sunday. Can't wait for the second half.

Man... that's scary stuff, and a good read.

Yeah, this account is definitely very sobering and instructive. There are numerous tragic lessons to be taken from this incident, some that can be applied even to the relatively safe diving most of us do.

It's a terrifying mixture of pioneering ingenuity and guts, technological hubris and folly and corporate callousness.

Thanks for posting this reality check. Hope to read the sequel here.

Hey Large, you are amazing! How many thousand miles away are you, and you still find stuff in my backyard that I didn't even know about.

Great part 1. Definitely looking forward to part 2.

Thanks for the post. I would have missed it completely!

Thanks for the story. I hope it reminds us all how much we take for granted.
