The CNN story says the guy that was found told his rescuers that they were all holding onto the hull after the boat overturned. So, I'm assuming three of them couldn't hold on any longer and were separated. They could be alive adrift and floating around out there. Hopefully, they are floating together with floatation devices on but it is doubtful they are together in rough seas...unless they tied to each other. Hypothermia is going to start becoming more of an issue. God, I hope they find them. Yea...I don't like boats for these types of reasons. I couldn't imagine just floating around in water with no land in sight. That is a terrifying situation to be in IMO. Trying to spot people in rough seas like that is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would be hard enough for calm water.
That just has to be crazy. I'd freak out of my mind if I ever ended up being adrift at the sea. They couldn't be too far from where the boat capsized, right?
ugh, got my hopes up for a minute. I really hope they find these guys, they were in good physical shape, as long as they fought off the hypothermia I think they have a good chance at making it.
Water was 68 degrees.....so they have a shot......too bad they got seperated from the boat though... DD
This blows, Every minute/hour/day that goes by just hurts..... How long can someone stay alive at sea?
It is weird and I am concerned Rocket River . . I have a friend who's brother is a footballer and he likes DWFishing . . 1st heard this I called her to make sure he was ok
Hopes are diminishing as time passes on...I hope their good health will hold up for another day or two.
I can't stop thinking about this. I didn't sleep last night because of it. It's just too much. I hope they have resolution soon. Usually, I hear about these types of things after the fact...when the person was either rescued or they had already passed. Now, I hear about this in real-time...and it sucks donkey balls because you feel like there is a connection...especially since it's in the Gulf, these are college/NFL players, and Americans. And, the story is always up on CNN and other sites...so it feels constant. It is difficult to deal with... even as a stranger. Like the one rescued guy's Dad said, you just can't imagine what it's like until it happens to you. Well, it sucks even if it hasn't happened to you but I know he's right. It's only four people involved...but it feels like it's shaping up to be a national tragedy. I hope it turns into a great rescue but...damn...it's been a while.
Ridiculously irresponsible journalism, that's just horrible. Hopefully they'll find the guys but its definitely not looking good.
I know you are kind of off your rocker, but why is this reminiscent of a guy murdering his brother and his brother's gf and then trying to elude law enforcement? The boat was flipped over in the ocean with one survivor clinging for life. Unless that guy is some sort of superhuman, I seriously doubt he managed to turn the boat over and kill all the passengers and then cling to the boat in the middle of the ocean.
Sometimes, you form a connection to people you don't even know but do have some in common. I felt so bad for that Sabrina Pina because she was a year older than me, Hispanic and a fellow Greek. Media has a way of connecting you to people you don't even know by constantly broadcasting the stories. Media Journalism at its best.
