[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't make myself watch. The rescue agencies just left those people there to die. [/quote]

That’s not exactly true. The doc explains this. [/quote]

I just watched it and it seems like that’s exactly what happened.[/quote]

Disagree, every living person was rescued.

I was so impressed with that young man who lost the rest of his family! Talk about PTSD.[/quote]

Huh? They were rescued, but not by the rescue agencies. Other people bravely stepped in to do their job. 
[/quote]

Exactly. And not only that, but many of those who were rescued ended up dying later. Who knows if being helped better/sooner could have saved any of them.[/quote]

Am I the only one who caught the fact the closest rescue by helicopter was an hour away?  The private company was 20 minutes away. The closest boats were 60-90 minutes away. This was an act of god and most people were killed instantly or dead before even the closest rescue could have gotten to them. The kid who survived had no way of knowing his family was still alive when he was rescued.

It is easy to Monday morning quarterback, but the idea professional medical personnel left them to die is patently absurd.[/quote]

The “professional medical personnel” didn’t even bother to show up.

The brave people who stepped in almost missed that kid. They were about to leave before they found him. [/quote]

Sometimes a decision to continue search and rescue or recovery is based on time and the fact putting further lives in danger who then need rescue or recovery. If you have never worked in emergency services you wouldn’t know that. So you sit on the sidelines making your opinions known. Yes there were CLOSER people who went who could have ended up in further danger.[/quote]
The putting further lives in danger theory is weak 
And if a helicopter had landed, or if more rescue personnel had arrived, they would have been fine

You need real facts, not whimps that are afraid [/quote]

NP but they didn’t know it would be fine.  What if that was just an initial eruption? It was really dangerous for those tour guides to go back and look for survivors and for the helicopters to land.  It’s easy to say the emergency personnel would be fine now.  Just like it’s easy to say tours shouldn’t have been on the island at level two.  [/quote]
