It’s not about will, these guys I’m sure had the will to live. The CG searched well outside the parameters of the HUMAN BODY to survive. Will won’t trump human nature.
From the start of the search with the water temps what they were the only hope of finding someone alive would be if they stayed with the boat and were able to keep their body out of the water, at least off and on.
The CG was out in full force when the probability of finding them alive was .0000000000000000000000000000000000001 %, they did all they could and should be commended.
Couple choppers a Falcon and a cutter. Not much in a 50 mile square sector.
