My BIL was on the dive team for a federal LE agency and worked the TWA 800 crash. It gave him a raging case of PTSD.


no offense but your BIL sounds a little on the soft side

...how many black water body retrieval dives do you have? ...or did you just think this would be a good place to insert an emoji?

I have no issue admitting that the first time I brought a distressed diver up from 70' it really shook me up. Had a good friend that was one of the best body retrieval guys in the area. Nothing so lovely as groping around and finding the body of a kid that has been torn to shreds by the grapple hook they tend to use to drag the water before they deploy the divers. Public service divers take on a risk that you have no concept of and your stupidity just became a beacon for all to see your dark soul.
