Disney could not confirm Sunday night how many workers were on the island, but according to Disney’s website, about 60 workers live there year-round. The company said it was in constant communication via satellite phone every hour, on the hour.

...until such time that they're not.

How is that supposed to be reassuring? So, hours in, they're desperate for help...Who, at that point, can do what? What does it matter that they're in constant contact if there's no way to actually assist?
