from the Yamamoto report:

...I then saw Mark Miller the Kalaupapa administrator and asked if Loretta was ok -he said that they were still rescuing people and he did not k.now, he then later told me that she was ok and was being flown to Honolulu...

Fuddy was given the last rites by the priest and it was Mrs Briley (whose half inflated infant life jacket was cut from her because of her injuries,) was flown to hospital.

Mrs Briley (whose half inflated infant life jacket was cut from her because of her injuries,) was flown to hospital.

Not only do you feel the need to contradict the NTSB's lengthy investigation without any evidence, but you're fast and foot-loose enough so as to pretend you know the why of other people's thinking and motives, using that word... as if you knew... "because."

There's no evidence Marilyn Briley had on an infant life jacket beyond your sucking it out of your thumb. FH's saying he put life jackets on the older couple (which would have had to been directed at the Brileys since FH was himself already 70 years old), was shown to have "mis-rembered" that too, as neither Marilyn nor Bruce were wearing life jackets out of the cabin nor for many minutes thereafter.

There's Marilyn with no life jacket. (And Fuddy's there in the window doing something in Jake's seat of all places!)

...and there's Bruce, just beyond the pilot, sandy blonde hair to the left, floating on his back, carrying his life jacket, still in its plastic bag, at his chest? Maybe both he and FH were having trouble getting it open, eh?

Oops!   Say, now... what would that be just to the left of Bruce, behind his head?

And as far as wearing an infant life jacket, it needs to be said that Marilyn was wearing what gets the prize as the most Adult Life Jacket out there!

Somehow that nicely-arrayed NTSB picture of life jackets missed one, eh?
