Above: the that-morning patterns run by Coast Guard and Navy aircraft in their search for survivors of a Massachusetts commercial fishing boat whose EPIRB activated offshore in the dead of a New England winter. Note that the Coast Guard's dirft model sent them on a pattern that extends far southeast and east/northeast of where the EPIRB was initially spotted by an overflying Coast Guard jet.
