Here’s your culprit:
Among the other passengers, three patients were flown to Oahu for treatment; two declined treatment and are staying in Kalaupapa, while three other patients were taken to Molokai General for treatment, according to Maui fire officials.
It appeared that Fuddy didn’t make it out of the plane, according to the Maui Fire Department.
“They said that that person remained in the fuselage of the plane, but we don’t have much details on that at this time,” said Honolulu Fire Capt. Terry Seelig. “So it’s always a difficult situation when you’re not able to get everybody out, but unfortunately that was not the case here.”
Can’t blame the journo for that one...and we have no idea from that statement who ‘THEY’ were.
It doesn’t make sense that the pilot would have thought everybody was fine if Yamamoto left Fuddy in the fuselage unresponsive. It also doesn’t make sense that the HDOH would be telling everybody until 8pm that both Yamamoto and Fuddy had survived the crash, if Yamamoto knew differently.
