Sensei Posted March 25, 2012 After watching the video, I looked up on Ben Underwood to find out more about him, only to find out that he died in 2009 at the age of 16 from the same cancer that initially affected his vision. An amazing kid, sad he died too soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khalid-Jnr Posted March 26, 2012 I watched on Channel4 or five few years back. Indeed, it was an amazing feat. If I remember it correctly, he was using sound to navigate through his way. Sorry to hear that he passed away Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
