Do either of you have experience as a life guard. One of the dangers of trying to rescue a person that in their panic the person being rescued pulls the person rescuing them down (holding on to them) and drowns their rescuER. It’s natural instinct to grab hold of anything close by
Did Yamamoto grab hold of fuddy and in his panic drown her? Seems like it would fit into his story if he not she was needing calming. Do we have a bit of transference going on here?
That’s an interesting theory. If Fuddy had drowned, however, the autopsy wd have discovered a definite cause of death. The claim is that the autopsy proved inconclusive. Either they are lying, or Fuddy did not die of drowning.
I didn’t learn to swim until I took swimming lessons in my late twenties. Even today, I wouldn’t attempt to save anyone from drowning unless they are in the kiddy pool.
I had water rescue training with a “victim” that was fighting to stay afloat using the rescuer (me) to climb on.
Essentially you have to grab the person by the chin (they are on their back floating) and you tow them (by hand/arm) around their chin while rescuer kicks to shore. A person in a panic can drown the rescuer.
If they stayed that close to the plane there would be a bit of suction pulling them down as the plane sank
