  • There are Internet rumors that the ship has been located and all hands are OK
    • A gCaptain forum post...
      • Life ring found...
        • No Epirb signal should be a good sign
          • I wouldn't think so, Chris
            • Agreed, I'm afraid that ship is at the bottom of the ocean...
            • I never cease to be amazed at what our Coast Guard does...
          • The report from the "scene" isn't good
            • Even more dismal, now... The CG is describing a "225 square mile debris field"...
              • So very sad.
            • The news from the CG press conference this morning is very bleak...
              • Things around the MMA community are pretty somber.

        • Good map and timeline that puts it in perspective, here...
  • They we aware where they had been ordered to go
