wow what a terrible story. the only hope is that "all of them are past, present football players, who have a much larger physique than a lot of people, so their odds are going to be definitely in their favor." borrowing the lines of a Coast Guard officer.

however, "the chances of finding survivors diminish after people have been in the water three days". I am always shocked by that kind of story. it must've been a really tough night at the sea for them.
