I’m reminded of a certain song from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.

Reminds me of the “Thankful Villages” or the rarer “Doubly Thankful Villages” in the UK. The former for villages where none of the men died in WWI and the second where none of the men died in both wars. Kind of sobering when you realised that the majority of places suffered losses of their men.

What an incredible story! I felt my pulse quicken as I watched the videos of their ROV nearing the targets of their searches and actually swore out loud when the vehicles came into view after being missing for so many years. Well done to the two brothers!

The unanswered question is how the hell did Juha Laitinen's car ended so deep in the water far from the shore.

Instead of Star Trek, I was seeing visions of Love Boat, Falcon Crest, Dallas, etc. 🤣
