1 out of 4 found...

The only hope now is that the other 3 have lifejackets on. The water temperature is warm, so they can last 2-3 days if they somehow made it.

I'm praying. Hope is small now, but it's still there.

What I really hope doesn't happen is that Skyler gets interviewed and he tells everyone that the other 3 didn't have life jackets. That would be horrible.

It's my understanding that he said they did have them on.

I just heard on SC that they did have life jackets on and are believed to be alive. They also said that the waters have calmed down a lot.

Well hopefully they're close to land, if they have their lifejackets on, and didn't fall off, they're still floating out there..

I really hope these guys are found, this whole thing's pretty rotten.

this shit is so crazy man...brings back bad memories i hope these guys get found soon, its been quite a while. They said he had his life jacket on, no update on the others, he had hypothermia and serious dehydration man these guys gotta be hurting this is horrible man that would be a bad way to go.

Any updates on this?

The coast guard has narrowed the search area for the missing people, so maybe they'll be found today.

Yeah they're definitely dehydrated and who knows what else, they need to be found alive.
Today.

Unfortunately the Coast Guard has called an end to the search. So unless theres some kind of serious miracle, the bodies will be lucky to be found at all. Let alone alive. Really sad story..

The Coast Guard announced that it will end its search for NFL players Corey Smith and Marquis Cooper and former college player Will Bleakley at 6:30 ET Tuesday.
A life vest and cooler were found near where Nick Schuyler was rescued, but he is currently the lone survivor. The Coast Guard officially calls the hunt "suspended," but it won't resume barring an unexpected break. "Any search and rescue case where we have to stop is disappointing," Capt. Timothy Close said. "I think the families understood we put in a tremendous effort." Asked why the search was halted, Close said "It has to do with our confidence level that we would found anybody on the surface level at this point."

yeah this is a really sad story..

Their families said they're going on their own search and trying to get any volunteers they can get. They won't find them though.
