In 1985, two boys from a Dublin suburb stowed away on a flight to New York. All they had for money were the coins they had stolen from some public fountains. A new documentary recalls their escapade.

Garret Daly, the film’s director, meticulously combed through extensive amounts of footage with his team, sourcing photos and videos from Irish television, newspapers, and even YouTube video hobbyists.

Their parents didn’t know their whereabouts, but, when the boys’ adventure was discovered, it made international headlines. After the filmmaker Garret Daly saw the story on the Internet some years back, he wanted to know what had become of the boys and their friendship, and how they thought of their youthful caper now.

Midway through this doc. It's great fun and well done, but I'm finding myself distracted by the number of errors in the captions. Recommend making another pass at that. Example: Whales instead of Wales. I believe there's also a 'they've' that's rendered as 'Dave' at 0:40.

PantiBliss I lived in Dublin at the time but no memory of this...

There's a radio 📻 documentary on the story here from RTEdoconone

How did they not suffocate to death once the airplane started climbing? Cargo bins aren’t pressurized like the main cabin is. Am I missing something here?

Em toda a terra, dois terços serão ceifados e perecerão; todavia a terça parte permanecerá!”Mas se ainda ficar nela a décima parte, tornará a ser consumida, como o terebinto, e como o carvalho, dos quais, depois de derrubados, ainda fica o toco. A santa semente é o seu toco.
