1. What new information has emerged?

The new information I found was that a 15-year-old boy and 5 more crews are missing after the Bourbon Dolphin over turned 80 miles away from west of the Shetland Islands. The teenager boy seemed to have been working in the boat experiencing the work of using oil rig crew. His dad is still missing. The ship’s owner from Norway said that divers from the boat were using heat seeking cameras for searching but are not able to go into the boat without safety checking. 4 helicopters and about 7 boats are also searching. The boat, Bourbon Dolphin was less than 1 year old and there were 15 crew working in it.

2. What did you find interesting about this topic?

I thought it was very interesting that the boat, Bourbon Dolphin had over turned and it wan’t even 1 year old. I also think it’s very weird that people havn’t figure out what caused the problem even though, 4 helicopters and 7 boat are searching.

3. What did you like about initial blog posting?

I really liked that Elizabeth organized each topic very well. I think people who first visited her blog can easily understand what was the main idea of that posting and they wouldn’t get confused at all. Her answers under the questions are well summarised and easy to understand. She also used nice bullet points and I think she did pretty well on that.
