Mike Fox Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 From BBC news: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england...ire/6906239.stm I feel so sorry for the families of the victims. Had the missing woman been wearing a life jacket: - she might have been recovered alive; - even if found dead due to the nature of the accident, at least she would have been found by the rescue services. Imagine the anguish of the families not knowing. - In the event of a person remaining missing at sea, the coroners will not release finances (mortgage, pension, endowments, etc) for 7 years, irrespective of will arrangements. The families will continue to suffer. Remember - life jackets are USELESS, if not worn. Am sorry if this is a little harsh, but it's reality. Mike Safety Officer Quote
