As someone with family in Buenos Aires, we have been paying attention to the news after a submarine with 44 people onboard lost contact on November 15, and hoping for their survival. Unfortunately, it looks like the worst happened.

My hopes go out to the relatives of people on the submarine.MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina — The Argentine Navy said on Thursday that a catastrophic explosion was recorded in the area where a submarine went missing on Nov. 15, an ominous disclosure that immediately caused relatives of the 44 crew members to burst into tears.
The nature of the explosion, which was described as an "anomalous, short, violent" event, was not immediately clear, but the disclosure dampened the hopes of a multinational team of rescuers who have been searching for the vessel, and immediately revived concerns about the worst outcome.
Capt. Enrique Balbi, a spokesman for the Argentine Navy, said the international search team would continue to look for the vessel, the San Juan.
"Until we don't have certainty we're going to carry on the search effort," he said Wednesday morning.
