"Furthermore, the NTSB accident photo file (page4), showing Fuddy's Infant Life jacket says, "Life vest was cut at clinic". Queens Hospital could hardly be called a clinic, and the USCG helo crew would not have forced someone to continue to wear a life jacket for the 40-minute helo ride, and the ambulance crew would not have transported her with an infant life jacket for the 10-minute ride to Queens."

Are you saying that Marilyn Briley was not first taken to the clinic and then sent to Queens Hospital in Honolulu?

There's no [me] saying any of that!

Marilyn's report was that she only made it to the airport before it was decided to take her to Queens. There's no clinic at the airport.

Do you think the townspeople at the airport put blankets on her and stuck her in a wheelchair but still left her in a life jacket? Your call.

The only cases where any reasonable person would not have taken a life jacket off a rescued person is if they might still need it (still over water and not on a gurney), or the body were lifeless. The NTSB was clear. The big blue "Fuddy" label in the picture on page 4 of the Accident Photos file should tell you that the life jacket was not Marilyn Briley's.

If you wish to say the NTSB, with its 10+ man-year, 2.4 calendar-year investigation was wrong on some point, you really should feel the responsibility to have some evidence!

from the Yamamoto report:

...I then saw Mark Miller the Kalaupapa administrator and asked if Loretta was ok -he said that they were still rescuing people and he did not k.now, he then later told me that she was ok and was being flown to Honolulu...

Fuddy was given the last rites by the priest and it was Mrs Briley (whose half inflated infant life jacket was cut from her because of her injuries,) was flown to hospital.
