Re: Raising the Dead: Nightline Fri
is all I could find. Horrible. One senses the confusion, narcosis and sense of impending doom from the last 2 minutes. We can almost guarantee he was hallucinating heavily or experiencing extreme tunnelvision. My condolenses to his family and wife for such a needless death. Hindsight illustrates the face of the first departed diver as the Grim Reaper. Still can't believe this was ever attempted without a full face mask. Or perhaps a time-delayed cartridge style lift bag would have been a wiser option for the corpse.

Just shows the importance of the first rule of recovery: don't risk your own life to retrieve a body...

A good post-mortem analysis , (hypercapnia=BAD)

My only other comment is they wouldn't  let commercial divers do dives like this past the age of 40, and Shaw was 51 and no shining example of top physical fitness. Very, very bad idea.
