How long can you stay alive underwater, conscious or unconscious?
Secretary Jess Robredo championed the empowerment of the people in Naga City. If the crash happened within the waters of Naga City, he could have been rescued and alive to this day.
If this article Timeline: Massive, deep-sea search/rescue/retrieval operations is credible, it can be noted that there could had been "enough critical time" to rescue Secretary Robredo and his companions alive.
If there been an in-placed mechanism in the coastal areas to report immediately sightings of this kind, the coastal resident who saw the crash could have triggered the life-saving rescue. Quick-thinking could have made him a hero... but more significantly, the nation and his family wouldn't have lost a good man.
It's time for the government to lay-out procedures in handling this kind of scenarios.
EXCERPTS:
Between 4:20 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.—Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo called up his wife, Leni, by cell phone to say that the Piper Seneca plane he was riding was having engine problems. The call was abruptly cut.
4:29 p.m.—Senior Insp. June Paulo Abrazado, Robredo’s security aide, called Supt. Wally Pornillos, chief of the Office of Internal Security (OIS) of the Department of Interior and Local Government by cell phone, saying the plane was having engine trouble. He asked Pornillos to alert DILG people on the ground to a possible crash-landing at Masbate Airport.
4:30 p.m.—Capt. Jessup Bahinting, the pilot, called the airport’s air traffic control tower to ask permission for an emergency landing.
4:30 p.m.—A coastal resident, Joel Espinilla, 37, saw the plane wobble several minutes before it dropped into the sea, about 3 kilometers from the airport. Its tail stayed above water for about 15 minutes before it sank.
5 p.m.—Gov. Rizalina Seachon-Lanete, Masbate Mayor Socrates Tuason and Red Cross personnel started search-and-rescue operations. Navy and Coast Guard vessels arrived soon after to join them.
5:30 p.m.—A fisherman plucked Abrazado from the sea. In Naga City, family members, friends and political allies of Robredo started converging at the Robredo home as news of the plane crash spread.
7 p.m.—Two US planes flew over the crash site but found no trace of the aircraft.
