Authorities have begun a search for Abby Sunderland.
The 16-year old is attempting to sail around the world on her own, but her parents lost contact with her this morning, soon before the teenager set off a distress signal. She’s believed to be in the southern part of the Indian Ocean.
“Everything seemed to be under control,” father Laurence Sunderland told The Los Angeles Times. “But then our call dropped and a hour later the coast guard called. “
A rescue effort, coordinated by the French-controlled Reunion Islands and Australia, is underway. However, Sunderland is likely hundreds of miles away from land and there’s concern over how long it would take a boat to reach her.
Said family spokesman Christian Pinkston: “We’ve got to get a plane out there quick. . . They are exhausting every resource to try to mobilize an air rescue including discussions with the U. S. State Department, the U. S. Coast Guard and various international rescue organizations. “
Meanwhile, Abby’s parents have updated their blog with this statement:
Abby has all of the equipment on board to survive a crisis situation like this. She has a dry suit, survival suit, life raft, and ditch bag with emergency supplies. If she can keep warm and hang on, help will be there as soon as possible. Wild Eyes is designed for travel in the Southern Ocean and is equipped with 5 air-tight bulkheads to keep her buoyant in the event of major hull damage. It is built to Category 0 standards and is designed to self-right in the event of capsize.
Thank you for all of your kind emails and calls. We appreciate your prayers and support.
Let’s all hope Abby Sunderland is found alive and well.

System Of A Down Album: Mezmerize Song: Lost In Hollywood Year: 2005 Lyrics: I’ll wait here, You’re crazy, Those vicious streets are filled with strays, You should have never gone to Hollywood. They find you, Two time you, Say you’re the best they’ve ever seen, You should have never trusted Hollywood. I wrote you, And told you, You were the biggest fish out here, You should have never gone to Hollywood. They take you, And make you, They look at you in disgusting ways, You should have never trusted Hollywood. [Serj moans "now"] I was standing on the wall, Feeling ten feet tall, All you maggots smoking fags on Santa Monica Boulevard, This is my front page, This is my new age, All you bitches put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don’t care. All you maggots smoking fags out there on Sunset Boulevard. All you bitches put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don’t care. Phony people come to pray, Look at all of them beg to stay, Phony people come to pray. [The lines in the letter said "We have gone to Hackensack"] Look at all of them beg to stay, Phony people come to pray. All you maggots smoking fags on Santa Monica Boulevard, All you maggots smoking fags out there on Sunset Boulevard. All you maggots smoking fags out there on Hollywood Boulevard. You should have never trusted Hollywood. You should have never gone to Hollywood. All you bitches put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don’t care. You should have never trusted Hollywood.

Just let me burn, it’s what I deserve. God of mine, am I lost in your eyes? So take me and make me weakened and save me this hate that you gave me keeps saying the same thing to sing when you hurtin’ to sing when you cry to sing when you livin’ to sing when you die and here at the end at the end of the hurt all the pain ain’t the same when it’s your turn to burn We’re the heart for the heartless, the thoughts for the thoughtless, the means for the end, we’re the gods of the deadless! Let it all burn I will burn first God ive lied, am I lost in your eyes? Just let me burn It’s what I deserve God ive lied, am I lost in your eyes?
