The facts remain the same; the story will be (has been) twisted to suit the
weakness of the parties that wish to deny the process of growth via learning
and sharing of that process.

1. Solo Diving a RB.
2. Solo diving a rb with huge human factor complications
3. Solo diving a rb with huge nightmarish human factor complexity without
oxygen supply
4. Solo diving a rb with huge nightmarish human factor complexity without
oxygen supply and minus a full training course and adequate “second nature
experience” on same machine
5. Solo diving a rb with huge nightmarish human factor complexity without
oxygen supply and minus a full training course and adequate “second nature
experience” on same machine amongst a group with a leader that DID not take
safety issues quite as seriously as they should have.........a high price
lesson, too f’n high!

Do any of you think the star wars program would be back on the agenda (as
fast) if Henry Kendall was still around to testify as to why it is not a
good idea for humanity in the long run? I admire him most for the stand-up
job he did in shooting down the SWP (even contradicting his sponsor in a
reversal of opinion).

What a loss this tragedy is.

And for all that actually buy the Walmart BS (or is that BS Walmart story);
what do you suppose the outcome of a reasonably subtle hypoxic event would
manifest a symptom as anyway?????????????????????????????

Well, information about Dr. Kendall's alleged prior condition that could
have killed him "in a Wal-Mart".

To be quite honest, the story that we have stinks, because it was
preceeded by
a very detailed explanation of how an O2 valve was set for outboard O2.
Was this
valve not in fact set to this position?

My gut feeling on this one is that Dr. Kendall had some terminal
disease, and chose
the manner and place of his death.  The Wakulla 2 project have a whole
load of facts,
and hold their news conference.  The Wakulla County Sheriff's Department
flips
out on them, because they feel that they own any death in their
jurisdiction.

Information about the prior condition, and whether it could strike
suddenly, would
help confirm or deny this.  Heart attack, and you would assume that he
was overwhelmed in the water.  Stomach cancer, you would presumably not
assume that.

And was the equipment divable when discovered?  Was this valve set for
outboard
oxygen?
