Default R/V Launched just 6 weeks ago is breaking up and sinking outside Delaware Bay

The names of the dead man and the surviving crew member were still being
withheld Tuesday.



Here in the South, we usually just step right up to surviving crew members
and ask 'em their names, much to the Coast Guard's dismay.....

Two crewmen, one lost. Below is a link and a story, seems there is some
fuzzy logic going on in the reporting.

http://www.nbc10.com/news/16258173/detail.html


When I heard the story on the news (NBC 10, a local news station) they
said one of the crew was lost. But I didn't want to say anything
until I found confirmation and the articles on the web on the 12th
didn't say anything about the lost crewman. On the 12th, the web
articles were saying 2 rescued even as the TV news station was
reporting one lost.

This article:
http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/p...NTPAGECAROUSEL
says that 2 crewman were taken to the hospital where one was
pronounced dead. So I can see where the fuzzy reporting could have
been going on during the early hours. That link also shows Coast
Guard video

I definetly would not want to be on that thing in those conditions.

But I would also be very interested in knowing what caused the death
of the crewman. The boat, left adrift, washed up on shore all on it's
own.

Can't tell for sure but the video seems to show two men on deck.

Looked that way to me as well. Although you don't know if one if them
could be a coastie that went aboard. The whole thing seems really
fishy to me. I'd be interested to hear what *really* happened out
there once everything is put together.

Agreed.



Here is a better report on what happened: it seems the previous news
"reporter" got "life boat" mixed up with "lifT boat." Hey, just one letter.

Default God doesn't like windmills. Was: R/V Launched just 6 weeks ago is breaking up and sinking outside Delaware Bay


Now we can finally detemine what happened. God doesn't like wind
power.

A small plane carrying people doing an environmental survey in
preparation for a wind farm crashed this weekend in around the same
area.
