Excerpts from the NTSB report concerning Fuddy (passenger 3):

Review of the video, recorded by passenger 8, indicated that the fatally injured passenger, passenger 3, exited the airplane under her own power while wearing an inflated life vest. Passenger 3’s life vest was examined, and determined to be an infant life vest. One of the two CO2 cartridges installed in the vest was punctured and empty, and the other cartridge was full, consistent with a partially inflated life vest. Passenger 3’s reported weight was 220 pounds.

Passenger 4 stayed with passenger 3 as they drifted away from the airplane. He noted that passenger 3 was “not really saying anything but was breathing very hard and fast.” Later, he noticed that passenger 3’s eyes were closed, and she was no longer breathing hard.

A Washington Times story on the autopsy:

HONOLULU (AP) - Details in the autopsy report of Hawaii’s former health director who died after a plane’s ocean landing reveal how traumatic the ordeal was for her.

The autopsy report obtained by The Associated Press on Monday says Loretta Fuddy was “markedly afraid” while waiting for help to arrive after the small plane crashed off Molokai on Dec. 11.

The report says 65-year-old Fuddy was a “rudimentary swimmer” who never swam in the ocean.

I wonder how extensive the compensation would have been for the individual frogman, if this is in fact what happened, who eliminated the threat Fuddy posed to the deep state.

Unfortunately, and as difficult as it is to digest without considering the preponderance of much evidence, the NTSB report is false in many ways. It is the concoction of corrupted people that were quite likely threatened to do what they did.

You can see Fuddy in the upper left, with both her upper and lower life jacket chambers inflated. That means both cartridges were expended. The NTSB's report narrative was to give the coroner (since she was already slated to die) a reason to be stressed and brought to a stage of hyperventilation. The story would be that an infant life jacket couldn't sustain her, especially when it was only half inflated. That storyline "blows up", however, when she's captured in the video shortly after exiting the plane wearing a fully-inflated adult life jacket. Note that is looks very different from the known-to-be-infant life jacket of the guy in the middle of the top picture.

This would be just one of several clearly incorrect statements from the NTSB.


(BTW, it appears my photo provider isn't happy with the bandwidth my pix are using. If the picture doesn't immediately appear, it will hopefully later, or I may have to use a different provider. YMMV.)
