Hawaii Official Who Died After Crash Wore Infant Life Vest
AssociatedPress ^ | May 5, 2016, 8:31 PM ET | Jennifer Sinco Kelleher

Hawaii's former health director who died after a plane she was traveling in crashed into the ocean was wearing an infant life vest and the pilot didn't give a safety briefing before takeoff, according to details in a National Transportation Safety Board report.

An autopsy determined Loretta Fuddy died of an irregular heartbeat from hyperventilating after she exited the plane, which landed in choppy water off the island of Molokai. The pilot and seven other passengers on the 2013 Makani Kai Air flight survived.

Pilot Clyde Kawasaki reported to the NTSB that he heard a loud bang, followed by an immediate loss of engine power soon after the single-engine Cessna took off from Molokai, headed for Honolulu.

Can you please post the link to the “both the aircraft and a rescue boat.”

In a letter received from the PACFLT Commander of the US Navy Submarine Force via FOIA, it disclosed that the USS La Jolla, a Navy submarine specifically rigged to transport SEAL delivery vehicles of the very type possibly seen in the Kalaupapa waters two hundred yards from the Caravan, was assigned to be in that area, uniquely on that very day!   What a coincidence!

In the upper right is the LaJolla with an attached SEAL Delivery Vehicle.

Note in the photo at the bottom right of post #257 versus this one on the right, that the SDV’s conning tower, periscope and radio antenna are all separately extensible.

So what we were pretty sure we saw in the water near Fuddy and her fellow Caravan occupants has been all but confirmed by the US Navy only twenty-six months later, even though the further activities of the La Jolla and her seamen and –women have been kept classified.

BGill: Again, we see a perfectly intact plane compared to the total mess they later pulled out of the ocean.

In an August, 2015 speech to the Pike’s Peak Prophecy Club in Colorado, the noted author, Jerome Corsi, Ph.D., said he was told “the plane went it was brought up, even though it went down whole, was brought up and crushed--broken apart--the experts say, by a mechanical machine that breaks the airplanes apart, and crushed. Now why would you do that, except to destroy the evidence of the airplane?” Corsi later said he got that “info[rmation] from [a source inside] the company hired to bring up the wreck.”

I believe Corsi's source was at least partly correct, but I also believe the divers on-scene, as seen above, with the slip-n-slide were also partly responsible for the mess.

This photo shows the plane very close to shore.

A lawsuit filed on behalf of Fuddy's family two years ago was settled last August. The details were not released.

If that is L.F., it appears she does have a small life vest but it seems to be fully inflated.

They're probably all dead by now. You know, common causes... like getting attacked by poisonous Amazonian tree frogs jumping out of the fridge, attempting to skydive without a parachute, and getting pulled down the toilet by a stray boa constrictor. Oh well... it all happened so soon after the crash that the Feds couldn't get their statements.

What makes you think it's a small life vest?

You could probably get an infant life jacket around your neck. It’s hard to say without knowing the type and model number. In an emergency you can make just about anything work.

I could be wrong, but it kind of looks like this to me.

The adult life jackets in the scenario show upper and lower chambers, even when only one or the other are inflated. In the many frames that show the former Army Green Beret guy's infant life jacket, none of them show upper and lower chambers for his life jacket--just as your images do.

But the one on Ms Fuddy, as shown in post #239, for example, did clearly show upper and lower chambers, both being inflated. Those CO2 cartridges both would have been punctured.

Your pictures obviously show only one chamber.

why is “Fuddy’s vest” torn up?

why is "Fuddy's vest" torn up?"

The FAA's report reads:
"We had a team composed of NTSB, CESSNA & FAA Inspectors inspecting the remaining contains [sic] of the aircraft. There was emphasis review the aircraft seating [sic] and where the life preservers might have been stored. The fatality was found with a "infant" [sic] life preserver on the person. The life preserver was cut by medical personal [sic] and NTSB Investigator that the 'infant' life preserver [sic] might have contributed to the person's fatality."

Additionally, the caption of the NTSB Accident Photo file reads, "Life vest was cut at clinic", which is almost certainly a reference to a building on Kalaupapa where the lifeless body was brought.

Although that life jacket looks to have been made by the same company, the instruction markings are different.   Also, the PFDs in this incident did not have the red inflation tube positioned as that one is.
