7 Marines, Navy sailor presumed dead as rescue effort halted in tragedy off California Coast

off the California coast has been halted and all are presumed dead, authorities said Sunday.

Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard helicopters and ships searched more than I,000 square nautical miles for 40 hours. Search team commanders ultimately determined there was little probability of a successful rescue given the circumstances of the incident, the statement said. The vehicle sank in several hundred feet of water off San Clemente Island, about 60 miles off the coast of Camp Pendleton in San Diego County. Efforts will now turn to finding and recovering the bodies, including equipment designed to survey the sea floor, which is too deep for divers to reach."Our thoughts and prayers have been, and will continue to be with our Marines' and sailor's families," said Bronzi.

KassyDillon I pray for God to give his comfort to these families. My heart breaks for these young Marines and this sailor. May there be a miracle.

At a complete loss for words..my thoughts go out to everyone effected by this. 💔💔

AresStopell This is awful 😔

The White House: (crickets)

ODNIgov Sure about that? DeptofDefense NSAGov Know what they are getting themselves into... A new team being built ? What better way than to hide true identities in a day on electronic tracking. Snowden KimDotcom CodeAval NIS

'The tragedy marks the third time in less than a decade that Camp Pendleton Marines have been injured or died in amphibious assault vehicles' Instead of taking military money to build a wall that blows down when it's windy use the money for safety upgrades for amphibious vehicles

So Sad....😳😢😪

Losing anyone in a training accident is an absolute tragedy. Praying for their souls and loved ones ✝️

Twitter needs a sad button. I would punch it now. I cannot help but Wonder, even though this happened in United States territory were they killed by foreigners and will they collect the ransom on these US soldiers?

That is awful. 😓

Nooo. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Well, at least the President will be able to get a round of golf in today.

Damn this is sad.

Hurricane Isaias lashes Bahamas while Florida battens downHurricane Isaias is ripping shingles off roofs and blowing over trees as it makes its way through the Bahamas and heads toward the Florida coast, where officials in Miami are closing beaches and parks. Miami officials have 20 evacuation centers on standby. Can you imagine going to an evacuation center in the heart of the Florida Covid19 outbreak? Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Why we are not seeing any conservative ideologue complain against the closure of beaches? If this closure is not an infringement on human rights, how is the covid lock down an infringement on human rights? After gaining strength, it needs to move to and hover over a certain golf resort for an amazing amount of time.

Hurricane Isaias lashes Bahamas while Florida battens downHurricane Isaias ripped shingles off roofs and blew over trees as it carved its way through the Bahamas and headed toward the Florida coast, where officials in Miami say they were closing beaches, marinas and parks. Florida has to learn the hard way to self isolate since common sense didn’t work. You know 2020 has been a total disaster when a hurricane is headed straight for you, and you are like...Meh... (I’m the new girl in town. Follow me and I’ll follow you) VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare No really Miami you can go to the beaches. It’s just another hoax
