Nobody knows who is under the sheet. that way no one can come to his aid because he was a well known individual in the area. but there is so much going on and so much chaos that it really didn't draw a huge amount of attention. introductions were very brief, but these are units that we had no experience with. so our trust with them was actually fairly low. so things that are going through our mind as we're grabbing him, is this a suicide bomber? is it going to be someone that's going to detonate and kill our agents? or is this really bagcho? so we quickly moved him into a vehicle. we took the ...

Actively searching in the -- and the coast guard has multiple assets on scene because we don't know -- it was very dark when the explosion happened. we don't know if someone was able to get off board with the flotation device prior to us arriving on scene. so there still could be people out there. we are actively searching. but unfortunately the more time that goes by the more difficult it's going to be to locate survivors. >> can you just describe what that sort of search entails since we know most of the vessel is now under water? are divers around this boat, on the rescue and recovery effor...
