12 Marines. I know I missed the WH official statement saying how sad Obama was and he shed tears for these fine Marines?

I am not very aware of the normal configuration of Marine choppers. Can someone make a comment on auto deployment of life rafts?

Collision, propellers, rotors, hot metal engine parts, hot oil, burning fuel seen in the air - the Marines were dead before they hit the water.
It was a blessing that they died instanteously.
Johnny Weissmuller couldn’t survive five days in those swells.
Pray for them and their families.
