Terrible news, panicked at first when i heard a cruise ship had gone down as my mom and dad are on one near mexico. Later confirmed as the red sea.

Just out of interest. If a beacon transmits on 121.5 then RAF Kinloss ignore it on the first pass of the sats and wait for a second pass to confirm it.

So considering we waited for a second pass, we still were first

God bless the queen and her beautiful armed forces
