starting now

[Mark_]

I had a terrible connection but was able to hear that still only one rescued but 2 life rafts were deployed...here's to hoping and praying that all are found ok.

CNN is carrying the feed.

 

For those that do not have video access: It was reported during the news conference that the aircraft was having problems, pilots notified they were turning back. Provinical Airlines reported seeing the aircraft upside down in water. 2 rafts were spotted in water. Helicopter has sunk. One survivor flown to hospital. 2 Comorants on scene now.

 

Prayers out to the families and friends.

[407 too]

I certainly pray that the others will be evacuated from the life rafts shortly with the other resources deployed. I'm hoping that one person airlifted was in dire need of medical attention, and removed first.

 

(do not read that I'm hoping for an injury)

[Amphibious]

why do reporters always ask the most asinine and fear-mongering questions? wow they piss me off.

 

thoughts are with the families and survivors
