We watched one of the Shark Week shows the other night. The show was about a 38' shark that killed 2 people who abandoned a capsized tour boat. Other people were rescued but 3 were unaccounted for. Then a helicopter is dispatched with a thermal device to search for the missing persons. Believable so far.
Now here comes the part that I have a hard time comprehending.
The helicopter spotted the 3 people with the thermal, but the people were 40' under the water trapped in an air pocket in the capsized boat. I admit that I don't know a thing about thermal vision, but is a thermal unit capable of detecting a human heat source that is inside of a boat cabin that is 40' underwater?
I just don't believe it, if I'm wrong please educate me.
