I don't mean to dish FR and the mods, but honestly, what qualifies as Breaking News or even Front Page News? Keeping the public involved in a major search and rescue effort keeps the government on its toes and assures that proper resources are allocated to the effort. Your comments, if anybody cares?

This ship spent a lot f time moored in Baltimore. I remember seeing it at the dock when I moved to Baltimore in 2010.

Bump.

Trump antics??

Can you be specific?

Also, there is no news black-out concerning the ship. I have seen it reported on daily.

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — The latest on the search for a cargo ship missing off the coast of Bahamas (all times local):

3 p.m.

An Air Force base in south Mississippi says two planes with ‘Hurricane Hunter’ air crews that flew into Hurricane Joaquin had also been involved in the search for the U.S. cargo ship lost with 33 people on board.

Maj. Marnee Lasurdo told the Sun Herald of Biloxi that the two C-130 crews were studying the storm on Thursday when the Coast Guard asked their help. She says the crews searched near the Bahamas on Thursday and Friday for the 790-foot El Faro.

1:40 p.m.

The owner of the missing cargo ship says a contracted tugboat and another of its ships have found a container that appears to be from the El Faro.

But Tim Nolan, president of TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico, says in a statement “there has been no sighting of the El Faro or any life boats.”

Just as 60,000 foot high thunderstorms are known as airplane disassembly factories, I suppose a CAT 4 hurricane would qualify for an ocean ship disassembly factory. Smart pilots that like living don’t fly into thunderstorms. I don’t know about ship captains.
