Yeah, and our police divers had a helluva time searching the wreckage of 
ValuJet flight 597 that crashed in the Everglades in (I believe) '98.  There 
were armed cops with rifles ready to shoot the gators (and water moccasins, 
or whatever).

Instead of braving cold temperatures, they were wearing protective wear 
against contamination and it was in terrible heat.
