SAR, So Easy, an Airliner Can Do It

There's a really bizarre feature of this article that somehow no one has mentioned.

The comments section... of a cnn article... is entirely civil and pleasant.

I've heard that story before- I think the guy was in a solo around the world race. It may be have been the Vendee Globe. Cool story though!

It's been a while since I read/heard the story, so I couldn't remember if it was a cruiser or a racer. I thought I remembered it not being a very big boat, though. Like a 30-35' sloop or something.

This is the only one I remember hearing about and it involved a tanker, looks like it happened in 2001.

I think this is the case I'm thinking of, but I'm trying to find a less annoying way to read the story.

WARNING, it's a pain in the ass to read.

Very interesting, I just copied and pasted it into a doc and that made it a lot easier to read.

Same same. Still annoying, though. That was the story I was thinking of.
