Family cannot afford to pay back teen sailor Abby Sunderland's rescue costs; plans to do it again [Poll]
With a cost topping $300,000 to rescue Abby Sunderland, she now says that she wants to make the trip again and her parents say they can not afford the $300,000 it cost to rescue her. In this editors opinion you have proven you’re not capable of making this trip. Maybe you should sell that boat on Ebay and try again when you can afford it? I doubt the public will be so sympathetic the next time around. I applaud you for trying, but you failed. Walk away. I would love to hear your opinion on this subject, so let us know in the poll!

Quote from the article:
"What price would you put on a child's life?" Maryanne Sunderland said yesterday when questioned about compensation. "The full cost of chartering an Airbus would be so high, you'd think they (Australian rescue authorities) would have to work with the US government for that. "We're not wealthy people." Late yesterday, with the 16-year-old Californian safely aboard the Ile De La Reunion fishing vessel which picked her up 2000 nautical miles off the Western Australian coast, a spokesman for Transport Minister Anthony Albanese said the full cost of the rescue mission was yet to be worked out. But it included her delivery to La Reunion, an island east of Madagascar, off the east coast of Africa. |
