Anonymous Coward User ID: 16659040 United States 06/12/2012 07:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From the NY Times article: Another Blind Date was an even larger yacht, a 161-foot craft built in 2009 for the same owner, Peter A. Hochfelder, the founder and principal of a private investment firm in Manhattan. His young daughter, answering the phone at home, said she knew nothing about a yacht explosion. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 17816516 United States 06/12/2012 07:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How do they rescue 21 people from the water, find no trace of wreckage, and then say it was all a hoax....and one source said the 'Blind Date' may not even exist. Holy cow. Quoting: TryToGetTheTruth They haven't rescued anyone; they were simply responding to a distress call that reported 21 people in the water. What I can't figure out is WHY anyone would pull such a hoax, if it is one. Maybe to distract the Coast Guard for awhile, or see how easy it would be to do so??? Not according to this. Another boat reportedly assisted. OOPs forgot the link. [link to www.philly.com] And another boat pitched in to help? |

[link to www.philly.com] Here's a bit from the article; A "good Samaritan" vessel, the Erica, was in the vicinity when the explosion occurred and assisted in the rescue until emergency apparatus, including two Coast Guard helicopters, three 47-foot motor lifeboats, two New York City Police Department helicopters, and a helicopter from Nassau County Police, could respond, the Coast Guard said. A fleet of ambulances and dozens of emergency personnel awaited the arrival of the victims via Coast Guard choppers at two medevac landing zones set up in Sandy Hook and Atlantic Highlands, both in Monmouth County. |

No one else finds this extremely odd? Another boat taking part in the rescue, but not one more word heard about it. Something so strange going on with this. BTW, I heard the so-called "distress" call on the radio today. It was bizarre to say the least. The caller kept referring to the people on board as "souls". |

Isis One User ID: 14343270 United States 06/13/2012 02:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very strange, reminded me of that movie with Patrick Swayze, where these messages came in from some other timeline. This feels like it was some other timeline bleeding through. Spread the word, change the collective conscious......

Chrit User ID: 15366081 United States 06/13/2012 10:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The guy had the wrong tone in his voice....considering the circumstances....including 3 alleged deaths. If you are standing in 3 feet of water on the bridge....and talking from a solar phone.... pfffft.....stinks to high hell. They will be waiting for the next fake call. I'm just glad no really emergency’s happened at the same time this fake call happened. As a boater, this REALY pisses me off. Everyone who responded put themselves in harm’s way. I hope they pick this guy up, I want to see him serve time... I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |
