The article loaded up fine for me and I don't pay.Pay wall.
I hope they are rescued.
Really? I always thought the water was sheltered there and rather calm.That is harsh water in a miserable place. God be with thm indeed.
I spent 5 months, almost straight, going up and down the coast of Somalia. I can think of a whole lot of other places I'd rather fare my chances going over board.Really? I always thought the water was sheltered there and rather calm.
Would not want to visit heard stories from an old boss who was there after bhd... 0 of 5 stars
I thought they just had a lot of sharks but i guess i never realized it was tough seasI spent 5 months, almost straight, going up and down the coast of Somalia. I can think of a whole lot of other places I'd rather fare my chances going over board.
From further reading, one of them fell off the ladder due to high seas and by SOP another one jumped in to help.I can only speculate here but for them to be left at sea by their brothers something pretty bad had to be going on. Heavy incoming fire or some high value hostages that absolutely had to be secured from the area or something. No way they’d just leave them out there if it was a routine boarding and search operation.
Yeah I have no idea how those guys do things but I was pretty surprised. I know they probably like to be as slick as possible, but would seem like a good idea. Pilots and aircrew have survival radios at all times, but they are heavy, bulky motherf***ers.i'd think on a nighttime operation that every SEAL would have an emergency signal beacon?
I saw that, but my gut feeling is that we’re just reading what they want us to read. Not tin-foiling here but when high risk missions go south the PAO/Pentagon always say it was a routine mission or a training op gone bad.From further reading, one of them fell off the ladder due to high seas and by SOP another one jumped in to help.
Good point.Not tin-foiling here but when high risk missions go south the PAO/Pentagon always say it was a routine mission or a training op gone bad.
Sad story all around. I can’t imagine being so loaded with gear you would sink like a stone. Why don’t they have some sort of emergency inflation device? Might as well fallen into a pit of lava…
