It seems weird to me that I can't find info about this accident anywhere outside of this forum.
I'm going to have a go at the MR on the next week and I'd like to learn more in a respectful and sensitive way from an official source.
JakeP, this one is sure being kept quiet. It wouldn't have shown up here without tntorr's post asking about it -- and nobody except the rescuing people and the family would have ever known. The SeKi public information person had been out on vacation, returned on Wednesday when I called, and she had to look into it then. She called me back, and confirmed the recovery. She was considering making a public release, but wanted to issue some safety advice along with it. I don't think that ever occurred. You might try calling (559-565-3131 or 565-3341), and ask if there is any more information available. (If you get anything, please report here.)
I have received news releases in the past that don't appear on the
SEKI News Releases website.
