What are they going to show? A body, completely wrapped in white head to toe, sliding off a ramp into the water. This proves what?

That the Somali pirates aren't wasting their time trying to find the body and hold it hostage. ;)

“If that CPAP machine was on there is no way he heard the Helos or the firefight.”

Amen to that. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
