It’s been 15 heart-wrenching days since a U.S. twin-engine aircraft and its three-man crew disappeared over the Mazaruni jungle.
It has also been a week since the search team picked up any signals from the plane’s Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT), and an official from one of the companies that are coordinating the search and rescue operation says that this may indicate that the crash victims have not survived their ordeal.
“The signal has not been heard since Monday, and this may be a sign that they have perished, and we now have to recover them,” the official, who declined to be identified, told Kaieteur News yesterday.

Wow, that's a great conclusion being as an ELT battery would never last 15 days. This doesn't mean they "have perished" it only means the search and rescue team couldn't find them before the battery died
ReplyDeleteThe ELT has not been heard since Monday so this "may be a sign they have perished"? Assuming a fully charged battery, the ELT would only last for about 48 cumulative hours, never 15 days, even if it was being conserved. All this means is that the search team has been unable to locate the ELT before the battery died. To say this may be a sign that they have perished has absolutely no validity. If you want to be "pragmatic" you should have a valid argument.
