The ocean search was what, 50 miles off the coast? Big difference.

They know right down to the last screw what it costs them to run all their equipment per minute...however it's government money and contracts so you see why their costs are so high...

I will say I'm thankful for safety services people, I hope I never need rescued but in the event, I would hope they were there to at least try. Demanding jobs! Kudos and thanks to them for serving and risking their own safety.
