There are four ways in and out usually, and one of them may not have been tied down the way it should have been because this thing got over on its side awfully quickly. What do you make of the Response Time for the rescue two hours after the initial dispatch call . Well, i mean thats thats a little slow, but, you know, theyve had their hands full in that neck of the woods over the past week with the hurricane. The ntsb is sending a fairly small team to assist the coast guard. The coast guard is going to take the lead, but the ntsb will certainly look at the Response Time. That will be one of their areas.
