IDK why this has to drag on. 3 threads now and this question is part of the other two.
Most places have volunteer search and rescue folks. The fire dept is involved many times and many of them are volunteer and supported by donations.
Obviously that far out in the sea with several nations assisting as well as some commercial vessels, it has to fall on who owns what. I think this circumstance got complicated just in that way, so how the hell are you going to distribute costs even if you would?
A drop in the bucket given our involvement around the world. That's all that can be said about that or it is PARF.
A good example is the 12 boys trapped in underground cave in Thailand. Several nations participated. I believe England and Australia were prominent in the rescue. That mission lasted 18 days.
