Family "Vanishes"

     CNN reported in a recently article titled "Coast Guard searching for 4 people missing off coast of San Fransico" that Monday a family of 4 went missing after there saild boat began "taking on water" of the coast of San Fransico. It was 4:20 P.M. when the family contacted the coast guard to tell them that their boat was sinking. It was not reported that the coast guard sent any help for the family at this time. It was also reported that an hour after the first call to the coast guard the family contacted the coast guard once again and said " the electronics are failing...we are abandoning the vessel." Why would the coast guard not have sent help at the first time that they were contacted. They waited an hour before they did anything and by then it was too late. Now after its too late they are beginning their search for the family.
     I disagree with AnneClaire Stapleton, the author of this post from CNN. She reported that the family "has vanished" but I think that by now they should have been found. The family probably got lost at sea and drown because of the lack of help offered by the coast guard. I do no see how the could have made it that long out on their own or how it is taking so long to find them. AnneClaire also reported that the family "might have boarded a life raft." The key word here is 'might'. The job of the coast guard is to help people like this family. Not only did the coast guard wait till it was too late they also did not even have all the information that they needed to efficiently search for them. Because of all of this information I do not think that the family is going to be found.
