Hell Jumper - story of Chris Parry

[essayer]

Did anyone watch this last night? Absolutely gripping, lots of bodycam footage

Chris and the others did fantastic work in rescuing people, and such incredible bravery heading into disputed areas - especially so once Wagner were moving in. I was practically shouting at the TV at the final parts as darkness fell.

I did. Incredible story and so selfless. Pleased to see he was awarded a medal from the Ukrainian government.

Yes, it was completely gripping. I've not seen anything like that for a while that really got my attention. Also very moving at times, especially towards the end.

The body cam footage running around soviet era apartment blocks in ruins, with the sound of shelling, and distant explosions, reminder me of Call of Duty, but it's real, and happening today.

I also found it interesting how what started as completely selfless behaviour to help people he didn't know, and continued despite increasing risks, but he became increasingly selfish towards those he loved in my opinion. He had to take more and more risk. Whether that was adrenaline or something else, it's hard to know. A very complex situation, but that was my take at the end.
