In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Hawaii Official Who Died After Crash Wore Infant Life Vest, rx wrote

“...People floated around in various orientations that belie they were not facing any strong wind or water current that would (as claimed by FP) have whisked them from the plane area “within a minute” if they didn’t hang onto the airplane. Those were just part of the lies that were uniformly on passengers’ and others’ (to include WH57) lips. ...”

In this post #352:

I was referring to 4zoltans comment in #350about the turbulence in the cabin, not in the water after the landing:

From rx’s post:

“...Those were just part of the lies that were uniformly on passengers’ and others’ (to include WH57) lips. ...,”

What the pax said in their statements about the water and what I said about the cabin turbulence are two entirely different things.

Strong words, to call me a liar.

Not. Good.

The entirety of your post: Yep, they had a rough ride & were lucky to survive. lacked much context.

Given that minimal context, I apologize, but it seemed to me you were talking about the entirely of the aftermath.

Nonetheless, your comments more largely seem entirely to be based on the videographer's jostling, not the actual plane's (inferred) buffeting.

As you know, I've watched the video many times, frame-by-frame at full, half, double, etc. speeds. I don't see passengers in that sequence spending significant time (as in none) firmly grasping unmovable objects to keep themselves steady. I see many hands moving about freely.

As elsewhere, the videographer does a nicely-planned job throughout of jostling his cameras to make it appear everything was tumbling when it wasn't.

The uniformity of the lie of how horrible the waves were contrasts entirely with the unimpeachable witness of video frames.

The clear commonality of your repeating what the passengers and others falsely said about the entirely of the aftermath implicitly leaves such comments as properly suspect if not to be rejected out of hand.
