Sorry about posting this on R+N PPRuNe Radar, didn't know where else to put it.
I agree with BEagle, there should be an international rescue effort to rescue these sailors, but I also agree that there probably won't be, due to the political points mentioned.
Also agree with Avman about the media. I should have known better in quoting the 48 hour air limit, that was form Paul Beaver!!! You know Sky's favourite "expert" remember his drivel after the Concorde crash?
Anyway, somebody, somehow, save those men....
