The first girl let her ego make her decisions and the second girl was just plain stupid. Next time someone tells you to wear the wetsuit of a dead girl or you'll die.....shut up and put it on. Just another reason why surface people have no business underground!

Probably some 3D CAD software like Autodesk makes. Did you see the Wizard?WVCaver2011 wrote:Toward the beginning of the movie they show the cave on some sort of 3D software program. Anyone know how they did this? That would be sooo cool to have!

I would estimate at least 2-3 weeks of learning WITH GUIDANCE if you catch on quickly. I think some of the common surveying software have a 3D feature, and you may be better off learning how to use one of these instead. Looks like Compass can do it. If you're hard headed like I am and still want to give this Autodesk software a try, I would start with the basic AutoCAD first. You can make 3D cave models with this, but again, I'm telling you it's going to be easier using a program like Compass. Once you master AutoCAD, you can move on to something like Maya or 3ds and make a very detailed 3D model.

Come on guys (and gals).............it's entertainment. All in all, they did an excellent job of getting the gear right, but sure you can nit pick the little things. For one, we don't run and jump off the edge of a 2,000 foot deep pit to start our rappel. Notice how there was no noticeable weight to all that rope? (Ooppps.....I'm nit picking !!!)
But just remember, this was NOT a documentary.
The drowning scenes are very intense and definitely NOT appropriate for young people.
I highly recommend the movie. The 3-D was pretty cool, too.
