The U.S. Coast Guard, a crew of scientists and others launched an air and sea mission to rescue 13 people, including a child, from a fishing vessel just moments before it sank in darkness early Friday in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Virginia, authorities said.
The 115-foot Tremont fishing vessel collided with the 1000-foot Panamanian-flagged container vessel MSC Rita, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) from shore, the Coast Guard said in a statement.

What a scary ordeal!!! When I read the story, I could imagine the fear that must have been in the minds of those on board the fishing vessel, floundering 60 miles at sea during the black of night... Great share, Lt Col Charlie Brown!!!
