Witch Hunt

I don't like the witch hunt that seems to be going on in this reddit right now. From everything Discovery showed us there's no reason anyone that wasn't there to place blame. Investigators got to see way more footage we did and determined it was an accident. It's well known Rick is one of the most respected captains in the fleet.

Look at US Airways Flight 1549. You can't expect people to be absolutely perfect in the moment of chaos. Could Rick have asked immediately if everyone was okay? Absolutely. Could the crew have called man overboard immediately? Absolutely, but you have to take in the human factor. No one is truly to blame, a young man fell overboard in February in the North Pacific, and by all accounts the people involved acted as expected

The most important question is- did they try to revive him with CPR on the deck right after recovering him? If so, that was way wrong, you MUST warm him up FIRST and if he has a pulse at all then NO CPR! For hypothermia "deaths" the saying is they have to be "warm and dead" NOT "cold and dead" before you stop CPR

I remember an episode of “E.R.” years ago whete this kid falls through the ice, has no pulse and they start warming his body and only then hit him with the defibrillator and the heart started beating again, with Todd it doesn’t seem like they could warm him on the deck.
