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.

The blue helmet got donated to the united nations and is now being used by some poor schlub in a third world country.
Yep.
Good pics!
Im guessing the timing is not right yet
Another image slightly brightened up to better show the shoe and pant leg of the person (Yamamoto) with "the hand".
Hollstein and Jake moved to the left to open the door. Jake is not carrying anything as he exits the plane. The 'manikin' if it existed would still be in the plane.
We don’t see all the way to the other end of the neckrest and the other blue cap (the taller blue cap, with reddish hair at the nape and no ponytail or straight black hair to be seen anywhere) was on the other side of the neckrest. So that image tells us nothing.
All it takes is one photo showing both Jake and this other blue cap at the same time, and rx posted that.
Posted it where?
If Jake was scooting his butt over in the seat (which would be necessary for him to be sitting straight up when “his” blue hat shows on the window side of the neckrest) then why don’t we see his head above the neckrest as he scoots over?
What you’ve posted shows that he did NOT scoot over, as is necessary for the scenario you guys are relying on.
The absence of a mannequin at any point means nothing, since a mannequin could easily have been leaned forward in the seat so it wouldn’t show over the back of the seat - and brought upright at any point, especially if being prepared to carry it out.
But if there is a photo showing Jake on one side of the neckrest at the same time as the blue cap is on the other side, that destroys your hypothetical scenario. What say you to the image that rx posted which claims to do just that?
And on all these photos what you guys are overlooking is that black head of hair that shows under Jake’s hat every time. Except when it’s a different-shaped blue hat on the other side of the seat after Jake did NOT scoot over... in which case it is reddish hair at the nape.
And the best anybody can do is say that the NTSB mis-labeled the lifejacket as being Fuddy’s? Keep in mind that the USCG said they cut that lifejacket away from Fuddy, and that is the only lifejacket that is cut.
I did. See how close to the aircraft she still is? Her mouth is open, her eyes are closed. She's either unconscious or already dead. And the reason she's shown floating prone, with her knees up and her shoes above water, is that she's well and truly dead.
That doesn’t fit the story at all. Are you saying those people all lied?
Where she allegedly died is irrelevant to the problem at hand, though. The USCG says they cut away a lifejacket from her, and the NTSB says that the cut lifejacket the USCG provided to them had a CO2 cartridge that was still intact. As you see in that photo - which is what rx asked everybody to look closely at - both chambers of Fuddy’s lifejacket are inflated. IOW, both CO2 cartridges were punctured. How, then, could one of them still be intact when the USCG recovered her body? You can’t un-pop a balloon, and you can’t un-puncture a CO2 cartridge.
He doesn't have to scoot over, the seats are too narrow to do much scooting. You honestly believe that a full size man and a life size manikin were sitting in that seat?
We can't see him move because the top of the seat is outside the frame for too long. Maybe he leaned over to look out the window.
"What say you to the image that rx posted which claims to do just that?"
Where is it posted?
He’d have to scoot over to be seated straight up with his head on the window side of the neckrest. If he simply leaned over, as you suggested, his head would have been at an angle, not sitting straight up.
The image labeled 1 is not two heads. It’s one head (Jake’s) and sunlight on the back of the top of the seat.
If Fuddy was wearing a fully inflated adult jacket in that top image, then I imagine the jacket that was cut from her is either mislabelled or missing. There were NINE. The pilot apparently didn't have one? That leaves EIGHT. There are three jackets without any names. The image shows a total of SEVEN. There must be one jacket missing. It's elementary my dear Watson, the missing jacket has to be an adult jacket that was cut from the wearer.
Where is it?
No I’m not saying anything that relates to what anyone may or may not have said.
I’m looking at a photo. To me, she looks unconscious.
You ever hold a kid in your lap?
It wouldn’t be kid-size but a life size adult manikin.
You ever sit in an airplane seat?
IMO, Fuddy is wearing the same size jacket as Hollstein in the image with the black arrow and the not equal sign.
No, you got it all wrong, she was wearing an adult life vest and the fact that they cut an ‘infant’ life vest off her was because she was swapped for a dummy.
Or something.
I’m just about ready to chuck it in. I’m reminded of the story about the man who convinced his wife she was shrinking. It turned out he had been cutting a little off her chair every day.
