If you haven't been following it in the news, a cargo ship ran aground near one of the Aleutian Islands and has broken in two. Six men are still missing after the Coast Guard rescue chopper went down.

Here's a link to an AP photo in the NY Times that I think is quite cool. It shows the two halves of the tanker in rough seas, with the island of Unalaska in the background. Let me know if the link doesn't work for you.

    Yeah, I agree. Judging by the caption, it may have been taken by a Coast Guard crewmember in a chopper.

    Hi Sid!
    Agree with you: the shot is very good, but it's terribly sad, at the same time...

    Take care!
