I have a friend that is a pilot on a barge, those things are massive and obviously cannot maneuver very quickly.

Mowdy Ag: I totally agree with you. If you have never been in FOG you really cannot imagine how totally disoriented you become. You cannot tell up from dow or left from right. It can become overpoweringly scary. Fly in Bell Jet Rangers offshore in '72 we flew into complete FOG over Vertigo Bay off Morgan City. I still remember and sometimes cannot shake the complete loss of orientation and fear that overwhelmed me. It is not something anyone ever wants to experience.
That said, I am so sorry for the family and offer prayers for them and their son!
