about

"Into Fathoms" is about the paralyzing tragedy of the pilot Frank Ohlinger and two Officers Earlee Decherong and Willy Mays Towai, who have got lost while searching for an illegal fishing vessel.
Ian Urbina's book is a great example of how moving real stories can be, rather than fiction scripted for plain entertainment. Likewise, the entire "The Outlaw Ocean Music Project" is adressing us as real humans in reality - with music based on the art of well-done journalism.

lyrics

While the Cessna was lost and wandering somewhere above the watery expanse, authorities on land tried a Hail Mary. If they could illuminate the islands brightly enough, the Cessna might just see them and find its way back home. They ordered all emergency vehicles to the highest points to turn on their flashing lights. One even suggested setting some wooded areas on fire—an idea that was quickly dismissed. “Aim spotlights upward,” yachters were instructed. The stadium lights at the baseball field were switched on. Residents were asked to turn on all household lights. Some stood in the streets waving flashlights. Two helicopters were offered for search and rescue. Their crews was instructed to fire forty-nine flares into the air, one per minute. Losing track of the Cessna was agonizing, because they could hear the pilot Frank Ohlinger and the two officers on the radio. Ohlinger, on the other hand, could hear no one. Between takeoff and his mayday call, they could hear a growing panic in his voice, his frustration with the plane’s malfunctioning GPS, compass, and, ultimately, his request that someone alert his next of kin. He tried to ease the plane into the waves, as best as he could. In the end Ohlinger said “On a good glide slope, heading north. We are at six thousand feet, doing sixty-five knots, and out of fuel.” The wreckage was never found. They had been swallowed by the Abyss.
