Hi Jens, As I mentioned the other day, what an outstanding job by all involved in the rescue of the paddlers, including the clear thinking and actions of the paddlers themselves. Down the road, as more information becomes available, I believe this case needs to be written in the greatest possible detail. It has always been the case for me in writing accident reports, that the best time but most utterly difficult time to collect information on any accident is immediately after it happens. I have sometimes met with extremely hostile reactions in some cases. It goes with the territory. I quit working with a club because of the stunningly hateful responses from one or two of their members. With time after cases are past, memories become fuzzy and questions that should have been answered when folks had the information, slip into the dark as unknowns. I believe the level of skill and teamwork of the responders in this case would not even today be found here in the US. They may be good here, but not as good! When the case is fully documented, I believe it will be studied for years to come. Thanks again for your determined hard work.
