    Our of our birds circled the survival capsule for an hour and a half while relaying information to the Coast Guard via his assigned platform. Both (only two crew on the platform) were picked up by a good samaritan boat. Both were taken to the hospital, quickly checked and released.

    Don't know the particualars of the what caught on fire and why.

    Couple things from the Interweb.
