5. I'm watching it now

At 1 a.m. but I think I can stay awake.

I am at the part where they are preparing one of the boys to go out of the tunnel. They are showing tying the hands behind the back. I shuddered--even though you know they are doing it for their own safety it is still creepy to think about someone having to go through that.

Talk about having to trust.

It was interesting to see how they used "meditation" (I call it mind focusing) to get through their horrible experience.

It was also of note that the coach apologized for putting the boys in danger. Of course the boys immediately contradicted him and told how heroic he was. I thought "You would never hear that from an American coach!" Fear of a liabiity lawsuit.

I recall following this story as it developed. We had many threads on it here at DU, if I recall correctly. At that time I was teaching at a nearby university and I remember our entire English Department was wrapped up in this story. We were sharing news stories, talking about the latest updates, and on the edge of our seats as the boys got out.
