"EL FARO" MISSING SHIP! Probably capsized and sunk

A Coast Guard HC-130 search and rescue crew from Air Station Clearwater, Florida, spotted the life ring 120 nautical miles northeast of Crooked Island, Bahamas. A Coast Guard MH-60 helicopter crew recovered the life ring and confirmed it belonged to the missing USA flagged ship "El Faro". Search and rescue crews have searched more than 30,000 square-miles since Thursday. Sea conditions in the search area today have been reported to be 20 to 40-feet with winds in excess to 100 knots. Visibility for search and rescue flying between 500 and 1,000 feet has been reported to be less than one nautical mile at times. Coast Guard Atlantic Area command center in Portsmouth, Virginia, received an Inmarsat satellite notification stating the "El Faro" was beset by Hurricane Joaquin, had lost propulsion and had a 15-degree list. Vessel was near Crooked Island, Bahamas, en route to San Juan, Puerto Rico, from Jacksonville, Florida. The crew reported the ship had previously taken on water, but that all flooding had been contained. Since then, communications were lost. A full-scale SAR is under way, engaging planes, helicopters, USCG cutter and all ships in the area. The crew consists of 28 U.S. citizens and five Polish nationals. From the latest statement from ship's managing company: As of 720am EST on Thursday October 1, TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico lost all communication with the "El Faro". TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico is working closely with the U.S. Coast Guard and all available resources to establish communication by whatever means possible
