Jimmy- You got a lot of bad information. From the blood issue, to Eric's involvement, to evacuation. However, since a few of you were so nice to involve my employer, I will kindly tell you all to kiss my ass. If you want the reports, which were filed two days after the incident, call Seattle (sorry, no cover-up there either). Cheers, Mike >From: James Cobb <cobber@ci*.co*> >To: Michael Barnette <aocfishman@ho*.co*>, <captjt@mi*.co*>, >"vbtech@ci*.co*" <vbtech@ci*.co*>, <techdiver@aquanaut.com> >CC: <dwiden@co*.ne*> >Subject: Re: Last weekend's accident at Little River - newspaper report >Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2002 09:48:01 -0500 > >Mike a question for you. > >As I understand it at the time of the incident the NOAA guy had classic TOX >symptoms, he was convulsing and his mask was full of blood.
