- Worth noticing
- Its chronology separates the 2014 broadcast, a 2016 YouTube upload, and an October 2016 Facebook post linked to the clip's wider spread.
Field notes
The page identifies the participants as Ido Baruch of Rishon LeZion and Raviv Calderon of the Golan, and describes the task that made the clip memorable: getting up from the floor in wet sponge suits. Its account separates the initial discovery and sharing from the later upload and viral circulation. The archive says its chronology draws on first-person testimony, Facebook documentation, and a mynet article; it flags one reconstruction's broadcast date as unverified.
