I cannot imagine the pain and sadness that these families are going experiencing. Prayers to all of them and I cannot start to think of how this was an awful way to go.

Well, after several days of searching it was time to call off the search. Yeah, one man found but he was still hanging on the boat. The other men? well their dead by now. My thoughts and prayers to the families on the loss of their sons. And to al their friends, just enjoy the time you had with them and keep them in your thoughts. I know I will.

My prayers are with the families. At least they died doing what they loved.

Nick Schuyler, the lone survivor from a Florida fishing-trip disaster involving two NFL players before the search was called off, revealed that the four lost men at one point had a helicopter hovering over them.The helicopter's light shined down on the four, but must not have seen them. Schuyler said the NFL players -- Corey Smith and Marquis Cooper -- were first to drift away in the rough waves. He called former USF player Will Bleakley "a hero" for swimming under the capsized boat they were hanging onto to retrieve life vests. Bleakley eventually was separated too. The search for Cooper, Smith, and Bleakley was called off at sunset Tuesday. - Associated Press

This is so sad. I hope and pray these guys are all found and alive. They are out there and just have to be found.

Jahoo, Just need better news stories. Tell me about the jerk who raped a young girl give us a discription of him so we can maybe better find him. Or the crack whoooore on vanburen selling drugs to minors. Or how about that molestor who just moved in next door on parole. Give us something useful that pertains to us. This is a publicity stunt. Would we really read the news if it wernt for this? Yes some of us are concerned with what is going on in our neighbor hoods and areas that concern us everyday. That child abuser or rapist cannot be found with out the info. But foot ball players can be replaced. Now report this story if it were an avg joe.
