The helicopter dive that wasn't

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

So what do we do about the claim that Watson dived out of a chopper to catch a Marlin? I saw the TV interview where he admitted the footage was a fake. Two or three vid shots spliced together, likely. Wish I had taped it, but didn't. Also the playing the marlin from a surfboard action is real, but misleading. That bit was fimed only after the rod had been handed to Watson from a gameboat which had hooked and played the fish. Anyway, do we repeat the myth based on something featured in tabloid/s like the Sun? Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 01:00, 16 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I have added a citation to the BBC. Colonel Warden (talk) 07:37, 16 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
