Kage has posted the entire sequence of the U-37 flip on the Hydropage main page. It's a different angle from what we'd seen earlier.

The rescue crews are usually unsung heroes, and most of them probably like it that way. But Saturday's flip really shows the importance of training and preparedness. If you watch the video, you can see the rescue crews moving towards the U-37 before the boat had even settled in the water after the wreck.
The crew that got to Jean Theoret was there incredibly fast and got the job done.
To the Madison Safety and Rescue crew, led by Buddy Gaw, and the ABRA Rescue team, Great job, guys!

Jean remains in University of Louisville Hospital in the trauma unit. I spoke with Jane Schumacher a little while ago and they have found nothing internal or external as yet after a CAT scan...We're not out of the woods yet, but everyone is seeing a ray of sunshine emerging. He continues to get stronger and improving.

Good News: The latest reports are that Jean Theoret's condition has improved considerably since earlier. His injuries are not considered life threatening.
He was considered in critical condition right after the U-37 flipped and had to be intubated on site and put on a ventilator to assist with breathing. He was stablized at King's Daughter's Hospital, where Dr. Edward Sauris upgraded his condition to stable, but guarded. He was then transported by ambulance to University of Louisville Hospital for further evaluation, where he is currently.

"I came through the turn and just saw a big wall of water and I thought it was his roostertail," said (U-7's J. Michael) Kelly. "I never saw any yellow or anything."
