And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
In days gone by, the news coverage of the Olympics added a slow motion, almost instant replay of the diving competition because the regular underwater camera shots just showed a blur of the diver flashing by. A USSR diver had a water induced wardrobe malfunction and the TV execs watching had a panic attack - but no instant replay. Seems the guy in charge of that camera turned off the replay because "If I let that show on TV my wife would kill me when I got home." And thus a potential international incident was averted.
Are you referring to the splashing sound that they made when entering the water?
