Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

They returned to the site this morning but still could not locate any bodies or the downed helicopter. Four or five boats (Chevron contractors), two helicopters, and one fixed wing aircraft (Pan African Airways) are continuing the search. 2. (SBU) Post has contacted the American citizen's next of kin.
