Think I’ll wait for the Thai cave boys to hit our shores and tour shopping centres with the rescue re-enactment.

It’s confusingly under the category of True Crime. What was the crime?

That was fast.

Wasn’t the coach facing charges for getting them in there?

The true crime category is more likely the style of writing rather than the content.

Two of the Australian divers involved in the rescue, Richard Harris and Craig Challen, the coach and the soccer team have signed a movie deal with Universal worth AU$4.17 million and a book deal with Ballantine worth AU$1.39 million. The proceeds of the deals will be split between them.

A bit late but you got your wish :laughing:
