And this is what happened when they landed on the oil platform. After several hours of EMCON games and poor procedures, when the crew flew back to mom for recovery, the ownship symbol was nowhere near where the boat was. Running short of gas and unable to find the boat, they landed on the only thing they could find: an oil platform.
That was the story I heard, but didn't want to throw stones. I don't know, if Mom is EMCON, I make sure I know where she is, and if that means we don't go far, so be it. But again, I wasn't there so I'm trying to limit my arm-chair quarterbacking to real life and not the internet.
