Also
ATR72 guarda costiera
and
C130 from Greece military
on early stages
It seems that all helicopters performed only hoist pick up.
Any landing attempt on ferry H marked deck was to risky.
No known use of sling, bigger baskets or known utility rescue
SAR FR net for up to 10 persons.
There are some unconfirmed news reports that one hoisting failed?!
During rescue ops, helicopters was visible on AIS only.
ADS - B or Mode C was not possible to receive because of relative distance...
Congrats to all involved
PS
4 years ago was similar fire on Und Adriatic, in front of Istria,
much less people on board and sea calm
