My own thoughts..........2007-01-19

I've watched the movie a number of times... I was actually there for part of the events that occured as the media-liaison for the American Red Cross out of San Antonio.

One person talked about the people being made into steryotypes which I agree with to a point. Everyone was wearing cowboy hats in the movie.... just a bit over the top. But the events are largely accurate even if some of the characterizations of the kids and adults were a bit overly dramatic.

The young man who was never found I consider a personal hero of mine... I've never met him but know some day I'll get the chance after my own death. I sat across from his father and the bus driver at breakfast one morning and watched the two men cry and embrace with nothing but forgiveness and grace in their hearts.

The strength of the parents and the children could only have come from God...it was this incident that forever changed my life. The love they have for one another blew me away and on the way home after several days of being there, I gave my life to Christ. It wasn't anything anyone said to me, but it was the supernatural love they had for each other.

Everybody there has their own story to tell... their story has become part of my life-story.

The true facts of the 10 children.......2006-07-27

The gentlemen who wrote the reveiw about the 10 children who died being obese, obviously did not research the events or the children very well. I went to school with 3 of the teens who died in the flood and they were by no means obese or even overweight. The events of the flood were terrible. I sat in the funeral of my 3 friends and it was immensely sad. I was only 10 years old at the time, but I remember it like it was yesterday. It really upsets me to see people write things they have no clue about. Not all the teens were obese. They did not die because they were too fat to swim. They died because of the terrible floods that swept through. Not only did the rescue workers fight for the lives of these kids, so did their peers. Sadly, the flood waters overtook them. Please don't taint the reality of the story by believing bad research by one reviewer!

The only heroes were the kids.......2006-06-09

Iwas in Dallas at the time of this incident,and have had 20 years to research and think about it.
All of the children who drowned were morbidly obese and did not know how to swim.
The TV helicopter arrived almost immediately and could have saved all 10 children if they just had put down the camera.
The director of the camp had receved a phone call from authorities warning him not to move the children due to the
danger of flash floods.
None of the drivers had a truck or bus licence,some were teenagers.
If this incident had happened in Scandinavia instead of Dallas,
there would have been a scandal the size of Watergate.
In Sweden it is a crime not to lend assistance when peoples
lives are in danger.The role of the TV helicopter crew would have been investigated.
During the New Orleans flood it came out that the principal obstacle to emergency vehicles being able to communicate was interference from TV bandwidth.
This movie is a coverup,but yet valuable as a warning of what well intentioned adults can do and result in tragedy.
Certainly there were no adult heroes,as falsely presented in this movie.

I also was touched by this movie. Although, it's a parent's worse nightmare. As with most true story movies, all the details are surely modified to retain audience attention. It appeared that some of the footage thrown in was actual footage from the rescue. In any case, I would love to know what happened to the survivors? For example, did Michael Smith become a doctor as he shared with the friends in one scene? Or was that thrown in as movie flair? Did any of them keep in touch? I respect their privacy, but it would be nice to know.

Must Have, Must See.......2004-05-29

I found this movie to be a real tearjerker. I was touched as well as everyone that I saw it with.
