Hi

Are you the lady in Jo's film ?

Carmel x

Your daughter is beautiful !!!! I also have a 3 1/2 year old daughter and she has watched the film a couple of times, mostly she thinks its a game to spot her Grandad though ! but in time I know it will be something she will be proud to have a link with and also a really cool thing to know about. Just left a message on Howie's page to say what the film and what it means to me but don't want to start being gushy on everyone's page !!!!

Hi Diep!

I recognise you from the documentry. So glad you joined this forum - it's saves me from having to track you down hehehe! Towards the end of the film, you revealed something you hadn't told anyone for almost 30 years. It's regarding the 2 figures you saw on the boat while you were standing on the Wellpark. I'd like you to elaborate as it would mean so much to me.

Many thanks,
Anh-Chi

Hi chi Diep,

I edited my earlier response to you as I felt it was a little personal.,,

Thank you for your vivid account of what you saw. I doubt it was your imagination as other people have recalled similar ghostly appearances. It seems to be the spirit of my dear father who passed away on the journey. My father was in a confused state of mind prior to jumping into the sea. Therefore, it's consoling to read that you felt these figures to be relaxed. His spirit has appeared several times afterwards. It has been puzzling to understand as to why my father was compelled to hold on to a 25L can and jump? Other people have also told me your theory, which you assumed in your documentry interview that , "... one soul to save the fate of the boat". Even your cousin anh Sieu questions this in his Welcome Text for this website. I had a bit of a cry when reading that.
Again, it's consoling to think my father's death was not in vain. I'm also humbled that you remembered to speak of him and your cousin mentioning him too. It's as if he was not erased from the history of Wellpark, as we could easily have done so - concentrating on the good outcomes and not dwelling on the sad ones. At least my children will read this website, watch Jo Wall's documentry and know that their grandfather also made the journey 30 years ago. Obviously, his name was not recorded on the list of survivors (which is posted up too). So, I'd like to mention his name was Dung Nguyen. A husband, father, uncle & brother to many of our Wellpark family.

Just saw you on TV again........did you managed to get to LA? I cant remember seeing you.

Hi Diep,
I hope you like the show, you and Paul spoke fluently unlike me. I though that you got the story across very well "we have a few hours...". I will upload the video I made at the reunion soon.
Regards to your family

Hello Diep,
Hope all is well.
It 's nice to see you again ... on film (the Inside Out from BBC). I was so touched to learn the ordeal you went through.
Best,
MV

Another good job on the TV.... hope you are well

Hi Diep,
The children love the show! They told everybody in schools to watch it. The headteacher is asking me to give a talk to the children which I will accept.
The two older girls knew a bit about the rescue beforehand as they use it for their school homework.
We should try to trace the Wellpark people remain in the UK, do you know any?
Cheers
Huy
