Crew Member Found on Capsized Cargo Ship

0:00It's April 22nd, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Durham News Today, local news powered by AI. Searchers just recovered the body of one crew member from the cargo ship Mariana, which capsized near the northern Mariana Islands during Super, Typhoon, Sinlaku. Out of six missing sailors, this is the first confirmed fine from the 145 foot U.S. flagged vessel. U.S. Air Force divers spotted the remains Tuesday using an underwater drone inside the wreck ship. Japan Coast Guard teams followed up with more dives, but turned up no other crew inside. The drama started April 15th when the crew radioed the Coast Guard about losing their starboard engine in the storm's fury. Contact vanished the next day, right as Sinlaku hammered the islands with fierce winds and floods. Now five crewmen and a 12 person orange live raft remain unaccounted for. Two teams from the U.S., Guam, Japan, and New Zealand have scanned over 99,000 square miles of ocean.
