"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits."

Old Fat Guy, you are really confusing our younger members with your use of such archaic terms as horizontal, vertical, roll...

This recovery was 11 years ago. Not exactly news!

Are you sure this is the same? The date on the video is 24 Sept.

I don't think so. It was closed 2 years ago when I was in TX, and I haven't heard any different on the TX forum.

Survey to EOL was finished something like a month ago.

People are diving without telling you first! Oh noes!

Are you sure that wasn't a month, plus 11 years, ago

Sept 24, which year?

I'm thinking sep 24 was when someone posted the video on the site. The video commentator said 1979 diver went missing, bones recovered 21 years later (2000). He also mentioned that cave divers began officially exploring the cave in 1996 (something about water conservation, mapping, etc.). So the video was originally broadcast in sep of 2000.

Not possible. The broadcast is clearly in HD...

Correct.

There have been numerous posts on this forum over the years about Jacob's Well, including one by Mr. Exley. I do not recall the date, but perhaps Forrest will know it. There have been acurate accounts of diving this spot as being one of dangerous & not worth the risks involved {Why bother doing it ?} Maps have also been posted on here, & this is not one place i would care to poke my head into. Florida is not that far from Texas, & the caves down here are all well lined & governed for the caving community at large. I mean why chance having an accident in the first place....this is why it is posted: No Trespassing !

100% positive of it.

Just because you didn't know about it, doesn't mean it ain't happenin
