Gee, ya THINK?!?!!??

Here is an excerpt from this story (emphasis mine, not theirs):

An Indian helicopter dropping food and water over the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands has been attacked by tribesmen using bows and arrows.
There were fears that the endangered tribal groups had been wiped out when massive waves struck their islands.

But the authorities say the attack is a sign that they have survived.

Mad props to Drudge for showing me the story, but the inanity of that position I noticed on my own.
