Absolutely false. The live ones should have had (and did have) priority over recovering dead bodies.
There was one guy (in his seventies) who swam to shore.
Passenger Ferdinand Puentes was second in line to shore. He managed to document the crash with his GoPro camera: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUxmrxwfz1Q.
Puentes reports that he was plenty tired when he was rescured. You think he should have drowned so that Fuddy could be declared dead long after being brought to shore?
I can’t imagine two rescue swimmers not being able to quickly triage a group of 9 people. As I understand it they were all on the beach when the CG arrived. ‘Just tired’ isn’t cause for a massive effort.
I’ve shown the official document to prove you wrong and you’ve done nothing but say the same opposite thing over and over without offering one iota of documentation for what you’ve said. If what you’ve said is true - if those are the protocols that the swimmers abide by - it shouldn’t be hard to find some documents saying that. Go for it. Show me what ya got. But don’t waste all our time just spouting the same undocumented stuff over and over again.
And actually, there was a woman with shoulder-length brown hair who was closer to shore than either Puentes OR Holstein, if Holstein took 1 1/2 hours to get to shore. She is seen in the distance when Puentes took his selfie. I’ve got the close-up posted on my blog, at http://butterdezillion.wordpress.com/2014/01/14/some-images/
Who was she? She was wearing a life vest with her face toward the camera but too far away for the facial features to be caught, except the contour of her eyebrow, apparently. Is she the mystery woman in the water on the wing close to Rosa Key, and just put her hair down? Is she somebody different? How many mystery women were there, whose involvement was hidden by the official folks (Coast Guard and NTSB) and the Makani Kai folks (pilot and owner)? Why are the company, the Coast Guard, and Makani Kai working together to hide the existence of this woman who WAS on the flight?
If that is the mystery woman we found out about a couple days ago, why was she able to get so close to shore so quickly before either of the guys? There was somebody on shore trying to help Puentes get to a place where he could reach the shore more easily. Might that person have been making sure Puentes DIDN’T reach the shore, like this mystery woman that nobody wants us to know about was able to do?
Way too many questions regarding what really happened and why these sources are lying to us, as can be seen through Puentes’ photos.
