Yes 600 to 700 ft is pretty deep for any salvage attempt. #-o :wink: They must have been close to shore for all to make it to shore.

That's an amazing story. They are some extremely lucky people who fought hard to survive. I'll keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

The Latest from Michael is that Martha is recovering quickly in Seattle. He would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.
