[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are in shock and grieving. And it’s not like they have a say in the scope and cost of the search at this point, which might be tied to a criminal investigation. [/quote]

How many smuggler boats sink off of Florida every year? How many of them does the coast guard recover? This is 100% because the passengers were rich [/quote]

Smugglers don't issue distress signals.

However, the Coast Guard does search diligently for normal persons who are lost in US waters.  Just this past week, there was a recreational scuba diver who failed to return to the dive boat.  This was Deerfield Beach.  It was quickly reported and the Coast Guard sent boats, planes and helicopters to search and they did so for days.  The diver has yet to be found, but the CG is still out (not quite as much force) searching.  The CG does not just respond to rich people.  They work their asses off at great risk for normal people too.[/quote]

Great, how many of those boats are the pulling off of the ocean floor at tax payer expense? [/quote]
