Maybe she got hit by some falling debris on the ship. Quoting: Thor's Hamster The US Coast Guard confirms the body of Claudene Christian, 42, a crew member of the HMS Bounty who went missing in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Carolina Sunday evening, has been recovered. “A crew aboard an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C., located Christian who was unresponsive, hoisted her into the helicopter and took her to Albemarle Hospital in Elizabeth City,” a news release from the Coast Guard states. It’s believed Christian was in the water for 9 or 10 hours, according to Saulsberry. [link to 5newsonline.com] |

Why the hell did they take that ship out when Sandy was approaching?! Apollo astronauts couldn't have passed through Van Allen's Belt. Van Allen wore suspenders. |

MindShaft User ID: 1554827 United States 10/30/2012 02:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sad ... sad ... sad ... Who the hell made the decision to put out into the Atlantic ocean beyond the outer banks in a wooden movie replica of a 200+ year-old ship, ... facing an approaching super-humongous weather system that had already taken lives in its path, and which is the focus of every frickin' weather report on the East coast? Better to sacrifice the ship at anchor, evacuate and let the Hollywood replica get busted up, rather than risk the lives of those on board. I mean it. Who made that decision, and were they on board? If not, where are they hiding now? "People have been conditioned to ridicule all that they are incapable of understanding."
