I haven't had a chance to look at any of these, but this is all from this morning. Today we have a partile Mercury-Saturn sextile, partile Sun-Pluto square, and partile Mars-Neptune opposition, so maybe - just maybe - these are at the root of diverse Mercury crises?
(NYT) "El Faro, U.S.-based cargo ship with crew of 33, sank in storm, Coast Guard says. Monday, October 5, 2015 10:26 AM EDT. Coast Guard officials said Monday that they believed a cargo ship that went missing in the Bahamas during Hurricane Joaquin had sunk. Coast Guard aircraft continued on Monday to search for survivors of the ship, El Faro, a day after finding a large amount of debris floating near its last known position. Crew members’ families told WTLV television of Jacksonville, Fla., that the Coast Guard had informed them that El Faro had sunk, and that one body had been recovered. The Coast Guard said Sunday that its aircraft had spotted debris — including life jackets, cargo containers and an oil slick — northeast of Crooked Islands, the Bahamas, where El Faro was last reported on Thursday. Officials said they could not be sure that the debris was from El Faro, but among the items recovered over the weekend was a life ring bearing the ship’s name. The Coast Guard said its aircraft had so far searched an area of 70,000 square miles, and it sent HC-130 search planes back to the area Monday morning."
(CNN) "An Amtrak passenger train has derailed in Northfield, Vermont, the company said on its Twitter account. Ninety-eight people were aboard, said Hjonis Hanson, a spokesman for Central Vermont Medical Center. At least two cars went off the track and over an embankment, and at least four people were injured, said Dana Huoppi, a spokeswoman with the Montpelier Fire Department."
(CNN) "An American Airlines captain died in flight, and the co-pilot safely landed the plane with 147 passengers, an airline official said. The A320 was flying from Phoenix to Boston and was diverted to Syracuse, New York. The airline official did not specify the cause of death."
