If what you’re saying is correct, Lang is claiming that the first rescue helicopter arrived at 4:05 and the second at 4:35. But he also said that he stayed until help arrived at 4:30.
What helicopter arrived at 4:05 then? The navy helicopter? What was the 6th plane in the air during the rescue (according to the USCG guy who said that there were at least 6 in the air during the rescue)?
According to Lang and Thomson, about 15 minutes before the first rescue crew arrived the aircraft completely submerged and sank."
"All that was left was a faint fuel trail, some light debris, and now 8 bodies scattered in the water roughly one mile from where the plane had sunk," the couple said.
They say around 4:30 p.m., about an hour after they first spotted the plane, a Navy helicopter arrived. According to Lang and Thomson, once they showed rescuers where to go, they left to avoid being in the way.
