Mark_ Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 We have all seen some very sad days this week but I'm afraid that the sadest is yet to come...the day they raise the machine. My heart aches for the loved ones. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 My thoughts to the survivor. I hope he'll be strong enough to go through this tragedy, the surgeries, the fact is the only survivor and the loss of his friends and colleagues. Best wishes for a quick recovery.

Hiller Highwater Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Any news on recovery efforts? I can't seem to find anything online. Also, does anybody know what kind of procedure is normal for offshore ops when faced with a MGB issue? I was always taught to hug the ground or tree tops or whatever when you have a pressure or chip light or some other suspicion of a problem but I have never been out of sight of land. And does anybody have any idea how the pop out floats work in a 92? I am curious why they didn't blow. Thanks, Hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Hill Hello Hill: Knowing this site, your post could turn into a speculation and second guessing match very quickly. Why don't we just leave this thread as a grieving process for now. The preliminary report will be released soon and until then we should just let sleeping dogs lie. Sorry if I have offended you but that's just the way I feel.
