For the readers here who would like to read the first hand account of Ferdinand Puentes, the Hawaiian who videotaped the crash, look here: https://www.facebook.com/notes/ferdinand-puentes/my-kalaupapa-plane-crash-experience/710835728950747.
Ferdinand talks about the comfort he felt from seeing another airplane flying over them.
He also did a Facebook share on Jan 29 to Butterdezillion’s blog where she is analyzing pictures of him and others. He and his friends were less than impressed with the effort.
He is very believable; I enjoyed reading his story of the harrowing survival. I agree, it would be very unsettling to read a blog where someone was creating a whole conspiracy out of your life. He may not know anything about Fuddy.
