History Channel Airing "Fatal Pressure" - re-enactment of Speigel Grove accident

[riftvalley84]

I googled it & I think this is live: Underwater Universe — The Science of Water Pressure — History.com Videos

Can one of you watching it confirm it is the same episode?

****Not live ***

Pretty good show up until the Global Warming agenda reared it's ugly head.

15 months later Matthew & his Mom are still in Florida where he is being treated. He has regained some movement in his legs but has a long ways to go.

If it is the same show, I found the part later on about the hyperbaric experiments at Duke the most interesting. Cool stuff, way back before widespread use of ROV's when we though we had a need to send folks down really, really deep...

Ehh, I thought the show was pretty weak. Maybe non divers would get more out of it, I'm sure thats thier target audience.

Watched the show and found it to be very interesting. They did not, however tell us what wreck the divers were on. Unfortunately there was not a lot of detail about the dive so we really don't know if all safety stops and ascent rates were adhered to.

Anyone have any further information?

Anyone have any further information?

Have you looked at the accident thread?
