Navy IDs three sailors lost in plane crash in Philippine Sea

that's morbid

Sgt Wayne Wood - No good way to go, except maybe in your sleep, but trying to tread water with a busted arm, back, legs etc and no ship in sight would be tough. Human nature to hang on and then finally take a big gulp. That's why I think being out and never knowing about it would be far better. Imagine the guys on the USS Indianapolis...very bad, plus the sharks.

Would prefer to believe they died on impact...

One reason i’d rather jump-in than amtrak

Sgt Wayne Wood - That too. It's often the crew on birds that don't make it, because they're taking care of business. I hear you on the AMTRAKs, Never splashed and never wanted to. Always thought about somebody leaving a plug out and it sinking like a rock.
