So now you have to pay to use their information?

Nope, it's not an obligation to pay for it, but it's necessary to register for adding comments or for reading forums, and right or wrong i don't agree with this way of working for a newspapper. So, i'll use others sources.

GIGN HQ announced today the disappearance of an operational member during a training at sea.

On November 7, 2013, 09:00 PM, during a training organized jointly with the French Navy, the soldier fell during a boarding exercise, off the peninsula of Giens, in the Mediterranean Sea.

Massive naval and air assets were immediately deployed in the area. After 21 hours of research , maritime prefect decided to suspend them, considering that there were no chances to find him alive anymore.

Since the creation of this elite anti-terrorist unit in 1973 , seven members died in training and two during actual operations.

Why don't they use a tracking device at least for training purposes?

Blessings to their families

Don't know the details, Snow. All that i know is that this soldier fell at sea with all his gear.

As usual in such case, a judicial inquiry is in progress.

Edit: Another thing that i know is, when the sea decided to catch, there's nothing to do...

Precisions about my post of yesterday


The dead body of the GIGN soldier disappeared off Giens during a training on Thursday was found during the night of Friday to Saturday, by the submarine of the specialized Naval Action Force team, announced Navy headquarters.

The body was found at about 02:15 am on Saturday, in the zone where it was looked for, but in a big depth (800 meters depth) and was taken care by the investigators of the naval gendarmerie.

The family of the deceased was informed and an autopsy was practised in the morning in Marseille, the results of which should be known during the day.

At least, the family has this luck in its misfortune, the sea returned its prey and they can make their grief work. That's not always the case...
