How that first guy helping his friend in the cave was able to stay that calm is just unbelievable. He is formidable.

[izabelosullivan]

The guys in the first clip honestly couldn't of delt with the situation better, the fact they were all able to relay instructions back and forth while staying calm is really impressive especially saying as the person who was stuck was new to it

[oyewaleafolabi]

The guide in the cave gave such clear instructions, constantly communicating and assuring the guy that was stuck...
🤘🏾

If I am ever in a desperate situation, let me be with Andrew. He is so calm, reassuring, so "I've got this" that you can't be scared.

[elijahdavey]

Let’s take a moment to thank all of the rescuers risking their lives for others.

Andrew is the kind of person you want around when things go bad. He’s calm, assertive, encouraging and makes you feel like with him by your side no matter whatever is happening to you, you’re going to get through it to give him a bear hug at the end. Oh Andrew, you’d make a fabulous birthing coach. ☺️

I honestly believe these types of documentaries are more scary than horror movies! Horror movies are just that, movies. The documentaries are REAL LIFE

[sjarrett]

Andrew keeping focused, calm and positive that’s what saved them. He kept Jason from freezing up. Well done, Andrew!!

[Smaugette]

I think I would just panic and die right on the spot. These people are so brave.

[briantrudyleupold]

The guy giving instructions... giving giving HOPE. That dude is badass! He really kept the group together

[mpayne]

That first guy needs to be a rescue team leader.... he was awesome!! Such a calming steady presence

[jasooni]

That Andrew guy is amazing. Very calm, great communication skills, great problem solving skills. He is the kind of friend you want.

[MakeItWithCalvin]

That helicopter crew was something else, credit to the pilot/winch operator and Brian the actual guy on the ground. Also, credit to the father and son for keeping calm and doing as they were told, that is a huge help.

[chasesorum]

The guy in the first video did an incredible job taking charge, keeping everyone calm and organized, he saved that man’s life

[trixiebeldon]

These stories are fascinating and I so appreciate the format of one story at a time. I cannot watch programs where they jump back-and-forth between three different stories, it’s just overwhelming, confusing and repetitive as they’re constantly recapping what they already showed you for each of three stories multiple times it’s redundant and unenjoyable.
Great choice National Geographic. I really enjoyed this
👍🏻 thank you

[greypilgrim]

If I am ever in a life and death seemingly impossible situation I want that dude Andrew by my side. His analytical ability and coolness under, well, water, was beyond incredible. It is the only reason both he and Jason are alive today.

2nd case: the helicopter pilots are unsung heroes.
We mostly only credit the rescuer who was repelled down to save victims.
And it's never really shown who the rescue helicopter pilots are.
Without their expert skills, the entire rescue could not of gone down.
👏👏👏 👍👍👍

[NikkiNole]

My heart was pounding so hard but Andrew kept me calm. So many stories of cavers getting caught during a storm. Some storms can come on sudden, but most you know a head of time. Never understood why people don't do more research prior to going in

[homeworshipwithmartyandamy]

Helicopter pilots and the crews are amazing. God be with them!

[Frost-whpv]

I have been on a binge of watching cave/mountain horror stories, this one was the first one I watched that had actual films of it happening and I love that.
