I remember this story on TV at the time the guy found the film. Nice to see it has a happy end - the power of the interweb!

I never saw the original story, but it was definitely cool to see how it turned out. Long live the internets!

Yeah, I think someone posted the first video a while back,... but I didnt know that they'd made a follow up. Cool way to meet some cool people.
