BREAKING NEWS - STILL DEVELOPING...
St. Tropez, France (MediaFetcher June 25, 2009) - The French Maritime Gendarmerie, a division of the French Navy responded to distress calls from 10 persons aboard a 120' luxury yacht cruising off of the coast of St. Tropez. Actor Sidebar Moderator was reportedly vacationing aboard the privately chartered vessel.
Search and rescue teams have been dispatched to the location of vessel with the aide of GPS emergency tracking devices and confirmed that it is completely submerged. Due to severe weather conditions and rough seas, rescue teams were forced to retreat.
There have been no confirmed details regarding survivors, and teams are on-standby to resume searches as weather permits. It is believed that a fire erupted on board as a result of turbulent waters and high winds.
This article is still developing and additional details will be reported as information becomes available.
Saint-Tropez is a commune of the Var département in southern France, located on the French Riviera. It has grown in popularity in recent years and is known today for its famous and wealthy guests.

OMG. I’m crying as I type this. Sidebar Moderator was my favorite. I’ll miss him (or her) every time I think about Freerepublic. Rest in peace, Sidebar Moderator.

Some days I think it would be cool to be the Admin Moderator.
Today’s not one of them.
