The U.S. Coast Guard is no longer searching for the missing cargo ship El Faro but focusing on any signs of survivors.

Whoa.........Misleading headline..........
33 dead???? Coast Guard has confirmed no such thing.
We all despise poor journalistic practices, please practice accuracy on FR.
To: Biggirl
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.
