You have to understand the size of an LHA. No one is going to dive 40 or 50 feet intentionally off of a ship doing 18 knots. The best chance for a man overboard off of any ship is for someone to see him right away. That happened here. They got a boat off in 5 minutes and a helo off in 10 minutes. There's not much more that they can do.
This coming in from Fox News? They interrupted Scott/Laci Peterson coverage for this?
Were they both playing football on deck?
