Very impressive reading,well worth the time spend.
 
 
I remember reading that when it first came out. A wonderful testiment to Shaw and his desire to bring back the body, however an unfortunate turn of events that doubles up the tragedy.
 
Really fascinating story. Tim Zimmerman did a really great job writing that piece too. Thanks.
 
An attempt at recovering a body at that depth should not have been made.
 
Really fantastic reading, also impressing is watching the video from his helmet camera.
 
Great read. Sad to hear about the result though.

Why not? The diver's family wanted it and the recovery team obviously believed they had the skills needed to do the recovery. It also seems as though Shaw knew the very real dangers of it, accepted those risks, and made the decision to face those risks.

Just because an endeavor fails doesn't mean it shouldn't have been attempted. Sometimes our morals require us to do something.
 
Just shows that anyone can make a mistake.
