[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.

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]

You are wrong. Read more about what happened. The officials admit now their delayed response - we are not talking about the 90 minute boat ride distance, was a huge failure. They refused to do anything for hours after they were informed there were people on the island after the eruption. The only rescuers were the people on the tour boats and the helicopter pilots. They admit they screwed up by not reacting. People were left to die. [/quote]
