Worst mult on the board. Never even close to humorous.

Famed ship sinks; 2 crew missing
By Mark Morgenstein, CNN

(CNN) - Three people engulfed by the Hurricane Sandy-roiled Atlantic strove to reach a life raft after falling overboard Monday, the U.S. Coast Guard said. But only one of them made it.

When the HMS Bounty's crew members realized their lives were in danger off the North Carolina coast in the dark morning hours, they made a short journey they hoped they'd never have to take -- to two waiting life rafts. But of the 16 people on board, only 13 initially made it. Three crew members washed overboard, and only one of those three climbed into a lifeboat, Coast Guard Vice Adm. Robert Parker told CNN.

The two people who fell off the sinking Bounty into the frenzied waters face "extraordinary conditions" awaiting rescue, Parker said.

All of the HMS Bounty's missing crew members were wearing survival suits designed to keep them afloat and warm, "but in these conditions, it's very problematic," Parker said, adding a timely deployment of search-and-rescue aircraft and ships gives the missing a chance.

A C-130 aircraft and a helicopter have been monitoring the area around the shipwreck of the Bounty, a tall ship that appeared in some classic adventure films. Two Coast Guard cutters were en route to the scene to help with the search-and-rescue effort, with one expected to arrive later Monday and the other expected Tuesday, Parker said.

The survival drama involving the crippled tall ship and its stranded crew has been playing out over the course of Monday, 90 miles off North Carolina's Outer Banks, where Hurricane Sandy has been churning 40-mph winds and 18-foot waves.

Coast Guard helicopters plucked 14 people out of two lifeboats around 6:30 a.m., Petty Officer Brandyn Hill said. The boats were designed to hold 25 people, and have canopies for shelter against pelting rain and winds.

All 14 rescued people arrived at the Coast Guard air station in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, later Monday morning. All of them are "in good health," Parker said.

Initial reports said 17 crew members were aboard the HMS Bounty, but the Coast Guard later corrected that number.

The Coast Guard said it has "diminished search-and-rescue capabilities" as Category 1 Hurricane Sandy batters the U.S. East Coast. More sea rescues prompted by Sandy were reported in Delaware Bay.

I hope no one tried to bring their boat back from a swordfishing trip today through that.

In truthfulness, while most people, certainly, would consider Washington D.C. to be south of New Jersey, it truly is more west than south.

Atlantic City is, naturally, about 2 hours and 45 minutes from Washington D.C. by 100mph limo.

Same as before, very rainy, nasty wind gusts. Kids bored. On another note, school as been called off tomorrow for me and my two daughters (in a humourous twist, the school district my kids go to is Schuylkill Haven and they are the: Hurricanes). Also, our Halloween trick-or-treat has been pushed to Thursday.

EVERYBODY IS GOING TO FUCKING DIE IN THE HURRICANE FROM HELL.*




*Nobody is going to die. Heavy stuff isn't coming down for at least another hour. Weather Channel hyped up the whole thing. President Bush still hates the blacks.

Let us know when the dickwipe parents that have too much time on their hands start writing letters about the insensitivity of a mascot.
