They tell me they gon ask CGX fuh lend them a helicopter. The marine place don’t have any response capability,Authentic Steven Adams Thunder Jersey, they don’t even know when the vessel left,Michael Jordan Bulls Swingman Jersey,” Jack stated.He said that he spoke to Mr. Porter of the GDF Coastguard but was not too satisfied with the response he received.“They tell me that the helicopter can’t fly over water. If they can’t even respond to find a vessel that gone down in a given area,Authentic Kyrie Irving Cavaliers Jersey, how they gon respond to piracy where the pirate got fast boat and radio sets? You ain’t see they fooling the fishermen?” Jack declared.
