The search for a crew member who was lost overboard from the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) tanker Tidesurge, off the north-west coast of the Republic of Ireland, has ended without finding any sign of the missing sailor.
First Sea Lord General Sir Gwyn Jenkins said in a statement that “after an extensive search for a missing crew member of a Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship’s company, the individual has not been found and the search has been ended.”

An updated repost. There is a line from a Paul Simon song, “These are the days of miracle and wonder.” One might not think to apply that lyric to the events of 9/11, 24 years ago today. Yet for at least part of that strange and horrible day, the lyrics fit.
