On the sea's surface, all is calm and smooth…
The midday sun is blindingly bright. If this island hadn't become so dilapidated, who could believe that just a day ago, a massive explosion occurred here?
The search and rescue efforts are ongoing.
But all that has been found are the incomplete bodies.
Because the explosion happened during a time of stormy winds and heavy rain, with undercurrents surging and waves reaching five meters high.
In just one day, debris from the explosion was found over eight hundred nautical miles away from the island.
"Report, the helicopter found nothing from above and is now requesting to return."
"Alright, return."
The aerial search and rescue slowly winded down. After all, in the vast endless sea, no one can say for sure where the undercurrents drifted towards.
Going further forward might even lead into the territorial waters of another country.
Near the island, rescue workers in hazmat and wetsuits continued their search.
