Debris field found in search for US cargo ship missing in Hurricane Joaquin


NEW YORK (ABC News) — Searchers for a U.S. cargo ship feared lost in Hurricane Joaquin found floating containers, life jackets and life rings today that officials say are consistent with what might have come from the missing El Faro.

In addition to the floating objects, searchers found an oil sheen, Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Bobby Nash said.

While the objects were found near the boat’s last known position off the Bahamas, it was not confirmed that any of them were from the El Faro, Nash said.
