Bro, this series is nice la.

But it is a pity that you did not show the photo where the 40 Commandos actually performing inverted repelling.

Thanks Canew.

Actually, I wanted to shoot those commandos doing the inverted repelling but there was a screwed up in their coordination. The firework along the bridge was accidentally activated when the commandos were doing the repelling, and so I couldn't see those commandos at all.

Ah! Wasted. Guess that anything can go wrong even after so many rehearsals. Just like in life, anytime can throw you a curve ball.
