That doesn’t sound like a drowning. That sounds like they’re going to try to claim a heart attack.
If he was holding her hand trying to get her to relax, they must not have been in imminent danger, because if they were in imminent danger he would have tried to help her GET OUT - not relax. Yet it was said that they found her in the fuselage, and another place it said they found the aircraft with its tail sticking out of the water, so that makes it seem like she died of drowning in the fuselage - not floating around with the others and just “let me” (let go the hand, let go of life, or what?).
None of the story line we’re being given makes sense to me. Why didn’t the pilot call for help? Why did the president of the company try to say that he couldn’t call for help in the same breath as saying that another pilot circling the area was able to call for help? If she was inside the fuselage, why didn’t the deputy director help get her out, instead of trying to calm her down?
Oops. Just “let go” (not just “let me”).
I think the problem is that these so called ‘journalists’ make thing up on the fly...(pun?) She wasn’t found in the fuselage...she was wearing the lifejacket that her assistant had helped her put on, and they were floating in the water while he held her hand.
I think she ‘let go’ when she lost consciousness. She was 65 years old. The younger, more fit survived, one swam a long way to shore. Yamamoto (no relation to the planner of the attack on Pearl Harbour, lol) was wearing shorts and a T shirt...I bet she was weighed down by the usual feminine apparel, hard to swim in a skirt and long sleeves while in a panic I imagine.
She should have been retired, sitting on her patio, drinking pine-apple juice. Now, they will make her a saint, and she can’t be forced to tell what she knows - ever.
Osama-bama has the luck of the irish, the witnesses just go pop like bubbles in the sun.
The staradvertiser website had a report at 4:36pm, and it sounds like one person swam to the shore for help while the other 8 were floating in the water with life vests. The pilot of the plane circling overhead saw the 8 people with life jackets. The president of the company said they initially thought everybody survived, but that doesn’t make sense if the deputy director held hands with Fuddy and she let go and was unresponsive. The article says that until 8pm the HDOH was saying that both Yamamoto and Fuddy survived. It was the rescuers who noticed that of the 9 passengers there were only 7 live people there.
If they found Fuddy in the fuselage somebody moved her there after the pilot overhead saw her floating in the water with the others.
None of this makes sense.
