[quote]Leaving the body behind underscores what separates the El Faro search from the average rescue mission; the 32 others that they still hope to find.

Finding a single body in a survival suit means the Coast Guard has to assume that 32 people are somewhere in the open water and spread out over hundreds of square miles and getting farther apart every hour. [B]The El Faro case has gone from a search for a single big thing to 32 very small things. This isn’t a needle in a haystack, this is 32 needles in an ever-growing hay field.[/B] This search has become more complex than any in recent memory.

Though all are hoping that survivors made it to the other life boat or into a raft, until they find a raft or another life boat, those searching will not assume so, and will be in what would can only be described as a controlled mad scramble. [/quote]
