Plane crashes, woman dies, survivor films and takes selfie

A month after a small plane crash in Hawaii, a surviving passenger shows GoPro footage and even a selfie taken during the ordeal.

Would you have done the same? Ferdinand Puentes was one of nine passengers in a 2002 Cessna Grand Caravan which suddenly suffered engine failure off Kalaupapa, Molokai in Hawaii last month. As he heard the engine fail and saw the plane heading for the water, one of his first instincts was to turn on his GoPro camera and film what might have been his own demise. As KHON-TV reports, Puentes knew the danger he was in, yet the decision to film as much as possible might perplex a few. He managed to get out of the plane alive and survived the crash. However, while he was floating on a seat cushion and wearing his life raft, he took a selfie.
Was the impulse to record just a natural reaction? After all, any bystander or news organization would have likely done the same thing. And these days everyone is using their phones to film just about everything they see. But wouldn't one's first instinct be to try to contact family and friends to say goodbye? Perhaps that did happen. The footage reflects a quite stunning lack of panic. The passengers behave in an orderly manner. There is no screaming or pushing. No one seems frantic at all. Loretta Fuddy, Hawaii's 65-year-old state director of health, died in the crash, despite managing to leave the plane. In watching Puentes talk to KHON-TV, though, it's evident that the footage brings back painful memories. Would everyone want to have such ready access to a reminder? Or would some prefer to forget? "You could have died," Puentes told KHON-TV. "There's so much variations that could have happened for the worse."

you want to leave witnesses

Makes for plausible deniability, especially when the "witnesses" are the potential assassins.

Is there really ANY doubt that she was "silenced" because she knew too much about Hussein's birth records?

There's a whole lot of doubt and a whole lot of better ways to silence someone than by bringing her down a plane loaded with witnesses, and then counting on a heart attack to finish the job.

Exactly. This conspiracy theory is not at all full of holes.

survivor films and takes selfie

I'd be more interested to know if any survivors dropped by Oprah's compound.

Apparently she was the ONLY fatality.

Don’t forget, when the birth certificate issue is all but dead (no pun intended), resurrect it by offing somebody related to it.

A selfie is an odd reaction, unless perhaps he thought he might die and was trying to video a good-bye message or something.

That’s a very intriguing theory, but I don’t think she’s stupid enough - she IS an ignorant, racist, hate-filled, arrogant ghetto rat skank - to get involved in murder. I wish there was a trail back to her and the White Hut/Crib...

She wasn’t silenced via a plane crash. That is nonsense for idiot consumption. There are simpler ways to eliminate individuals than taking down an airplane.

Guess we can come up with a new term.
Klintoon caused Arkancide.
Baraq is causing Obamacide.

Also, I remember when his grandmother was “dying”. Dear Leader was going to go to Hawaii to see her for about a week. He kept putting off the trip. Strange. Then he finally went out there with the first wookie. There were pics here on FR of Michelle leaping into Obama’s arms after leaving the scene with a very happy and excited look on her face. Like a huge burden had been lifted.
Made me think that if this man is so callous toward a member of his family, what will he do to us. I guess we are about to find out.

No need to insult those who disagree with you, but since you've gotten the ball rolling:

no survivors = conspiracy,
and surviviors = conspiracy.

Amusing how that works.
