That's true in this case, but might very well not be the case in a future accident. That rescuers were able to reach the Leviathan II so quickly in this case is partly due to some very good luck after the accident -- crew members spotted a flare just floating in the water and were able to fire it. It was this flare that the first rescue boat saw.
- sandworm101 8y agoFinding the flare wasn't the amazing bit. That someone was close enough and looking in the correct direction, that's the miracle. Normally I would never say to just launch a flare and hope someone sees it. That's a wasted flare. Normally you hold off until you think someone is in the area. And a flare being seen during daylight?
