Re: very sad. sunken hatteras
Best story I've read so far, from the PB Daily News, really known as the "Shiny Sheet'.

He's toast. From toasted to toast. I like "former Jet Blue pilot" Gives me the willies, that does. I've flown on that airline.

I like how the article states he left West End, headed for Jupiter. Huh, lol. He didn't miss it by much. Tony

Re: very sad. sunken hatteras
I really don't think he's "Really" holding her for the divers in engine room as story caption stated. In fact, he's placed himself in a very vulnerable position but then again, look how he got there in the first place. I worked for SeaTow in past and have done several salvage jobs but nothing this size. They'll get her plugged up, pump her out, then should pull her out (Weather depending!!!). I'll see if a friend can't get me a picture or maybe one of our forum members can when she's hauled out to see over all damage!

Certainly a great contributor to society. Sounds like a complete sociopath, if it's the same guy.
