A Happy Family Reunion
All too often, conflicts around the world are resolved through prisoner exchanges and release negotiations. In the 1970s, “Operation Homecoming” negotiated the exchange of captured US soldiers from Viet Cong. This is fighter pilot Col Robert Stirm meeting his family after 6 long years of captivity. If you have seen a film like The Deer Hunter then you can accurately imagine what life must have been like for this man during his captivity.

A Chained Houdini
When you think of daring escape artists, one man comes up almost immediately: Mr Harr Houdini. He was known for his daring stunts and escape acts, but as his career got longer, his escape acts became more and more extreme. He used chains in his acts and even buried himself alive now and then. All in a day’s work for Harry Houdini! Sadly, after escaping so many terrifying self-made traps, Houdini died in hospital from injuries sustained from a skeptic who punched him repeatedly below the belt.
