SaligoBay Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Has anyone been watching it this week? Isn't it brilliant!! Hardly dated at all, either.Inventing all that underwater stuff. Working out that salmon use vortexes from the falling water to help propel themselves up the waterfall. Doubly brilliant!!Poetic endings yes, "nice" endings no. It's just been absolutely lovely.What.A.Guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Haven't seen it in years. "Poetic endings" reminded me of one episode where they followed a guy in Corsica who went diving for red coral using only compressed air. This guy would go to amazing depths to collect coral risking the bends every time he dived. At times the Cousteau divers could not follow him even using their fancy equipment. He also risked life and limb by overfilling the air bottles. A couple exploded during filming.When the rolled the credits at the end they told us that the Corsican guy had unfortunately died since filming. He was killed by his neighbour in an argument over a garden hose !.rgdshagar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
