CNN)—[Breaking news update, 10:15 a.m. ET]

The U.S. Coast Guard is no longer searching for the missing cargo ship El Faro but focusing on any signs of survivors. Searchers have found life rafts and survival suits, including one survival suit with human remains, Coast Guard Capt. Mark Fedor said Monday. The body inside the survival suit was unidentifiable, he said.

That one line in the song puts the whole scenario into perspective. I can’t imagine what it would be like to go through that...

Wow. Has it been 40 years? Hard to believe. The Perfect Storm was 24 years ago this month.

I would like that question answered as well.

Its either bad reporting by the media or bad decision making by the crew.

I wonder when they officially ring the bell at Lloyd’s?

FReepers have been commenting on this one for a few days, regarding the overall lack of coverage.

The line was the first thing I thought of.
