‘Rescue swimmer Mark Peer said when he swam to Fuddy, she was unresponsive and he couldn’t find a pulse. ‘It was not a good feeling,’ he said.’
OK what Mark Peer said fits the pic here, where she’s laying flat (h/t to Rx)

I can check the vid to see if she is upright in any of the subsequent scenes .
And yet, somehow, forty minutes later, when the second USCG swimmer hoisted her, her condition became "CRITICAL."
Now Fuddy had exited the scenario about 4:10, just a half hour before the first swimmer found her. How could she possibly have been determined by the second swimmer to have been CRITICAL when 40 minutes earlier she was deemed "clearly dead" (with those criteria above)? Hmmmm?
Curiously, only at 4:20 do the "official rescuers" begin appearing on-scene, 3 helicopters and a C-130 command ship, to begin lifting passengers out of the water.
Once, according to the advance plane, the red-wigged diver took her place, she had a half hour head-start before the first USCG rescuer would find her. For her to be essentially a mile away, the "currents" would have had to be drifting at about 4mph, which is a brisk walking speed, were it on dry land. That's rather unexpected, wouldn't you say?
But there was a USN MH-60R Seahawk on scene that just before he put down his two smoke floats at 1/2 mile and a mile west of the original ditching site, said he saw "two groups of three survivors" heading westward.
There were still five survivors near the plane: FP, KY, FH, RK and JK. There weren't eleven people on the plane, only nine!
Is this a false scenario or what?
