Heres a theory about V933 that explaines the mysteries, but stays within Canon, not contradicting canon.

Victor 933 flies down over the swamps, containing Second Squad (with Chips Dubbo) and Captain Jacob Keyes. Some time afterwards, the ship is shot down.

Later on, a second, unknamed Pelican flies in as reinforcements. This Pelican contains Fire Team Charlie (with exception to Dubbo).


The reason why I sent this theory? I'm tired of people keep saying they were all on the same ship, with a copy of the ship crashed as the one with Jenkins in is still in the air.

Notice the quote, "Wait here for the Captain and his squad"... That is said as they are above ground. Had they just got out of the Pelican, Keyes and 2nd Squad would have been with them...this reinforces my idea that there were two Pelicans.

Well, this much is fairly obvious. The Captain wasn't in the first Pelican during the cut-scene.

If I recall from the novel by Dietz, the ship had apparently been downed during takeoff, not landing. This, however, doesn't make sense, as the Marines would notice the ship being shot down, or hear it, unless it happened just as they were ambushed.

Since its launch yesterday, the Open for Questions tool has processed over 600,000 votes from more than 10,000 people on more than 7,300 questions. Voting will come to a close Friday, December 12th, at 12:00 a.m. EST, so that we can prepare answers to some of the most popular questions. (Note: All of the questions submitted so far will be archived here.)

Pilot projects like "Open for Questions" depend on feedback from users to better understand how to make participation intuitive and productive. In case you missed the link at the bottom of the Open for Questions page, we have a feedback form for any ideas or comments you have about the tool.

Participation in Open for Questions outpaced our expectations, and we're looking forward to rolling it out again next week. We're tremendously excited about the promise of tools like this that offer Americans a level of access that has historically been hard to come by. By voting questions up, users have been able to convey to our team which major issues -- like the auto industry, health care, ethical standards, and others -- are the most important to this community.

Over the next few days, some of the most popular questions selected by the Change.gov community will be answered by the Transition team, and their responses will be posted here on the site.
