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.

NTSB a spokesman Keith Holloway.

Another bogus federal agency they need to "Haul Away".

I'm sure the FBI, the FAA, or even "Hawaii Five-Oh" could have done a better job. But then again that wasn't the idea. Was it.

Truly amazing how none of this stuff is ever really covered by ace journalists.

Paging Sharyl Attkisson!

Just for the record, I believe Obama’s BC is a painfully obvious cut and paste job, and that the evidence points overwhelmingly to a Canadian birth.

That said, I also believe the plane crash was just an accident, and that Fuddy died of natural causes.

*That* said, I’ll add this. If you shoot someone, it’s murder. If you coukd actually manage to have a person die of arrhythmia in the ocean following a plane crash, the death is by natural causes.

See the difference?

the pilot asked them who had flown that morning and said "you know the procedures

So what if that's true. Anyone who's flown once or has watched tv knows the procedure.

Exactly, no freakin' way. She could have barely gotten that little life jacket over her head. Lies, lies and more lies. We've all seen the pictures of her in the water and that's not an infant vest she's wearing:

Also, why did the airport employees close up over an hour early and leave before the plane departed? She was the Mayor of the island and she wasn't able to get a drink of water or use the restroom since it was all closed up. Why was there no one around, such as the leprosy guy who drove them to the airport or anyone else seeing passengers off not there? And no one was manning the fire station or it's radio which is next door to the airport. One would think, since they were begging her for a new fire station, that someone would have acted like the upgrade was needed. I live by a rural volunteer fire station and I guarantee someone would have been on hand to kiss up for more funding. The airport website at the time stated people liked to come out to watch the planes land but not a sole was there that day.

Anyone have a picture from the movie “Tommy Boy” showing Chris Farley almost strangling himself after inflating an infant life preserver he was wearing?

From the interview with Loretta Fuddy’s sister and brother-in-law on 12/30/2013,

“At Thanksgiving time, Loretta had told them that she had some kind of irregular heartbeat. She said at the time that she planned to get it checked out.”

A grossly overweight, sixty-five year old female with an irregular heartbeat is a recipe for trouble.

""Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.""

However, there appears to be questionable circumstances surrounding her death.

The passenger who died before the first responders arrived was found wearing a partially inflated infant life vest. The autopsy of the passenger did not reveal any significant traumatic injuries, and the autopsy report noted that her cause of death was “acute cardiac arrhythmia due to hyperventilation.” Another passenger reported that he also inadvertently used an infant life vest, which he said seemed “small or tight” but “worked fine.” If the pilot had provided a safety briefing, as required by Federal Aviation Administration regulations, to the passengers that included the ditching procedures and location and usage of floatation equipment, the passengers might have been able to find and use the correct size floatation device.

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:
The loss of engine power due to the fracture of multiple blades on the compressor turbine wheel, which resulted in a ditching. The reason for the blade failures could not be determined due to secondary thermal damage to the blades.
