The #Boston coast guard is involved? Weird.

I just wanted to repost this to Boston, but that's something I don't know how to do. I posted the link --but is there a way here to repost?

Looks like a jurisdiction thing--a Canadian ship launched it though.

The submersible was reported missing after it was overdue by a couple of hours on Sunday evening, according to Chief Mi'sel Joe — head of the Mi'kmaq band which owns the ship from which the submersible is launched.
