Mariana Ship Found Overturned After Typhoon

0:00Coast Guard just confirmed that an overturned ship spotted near Sipan after a brutal typhoon is the missing cargo vessel, Mariana, carrying six people. This U.S. registered dry cargo ship went dark during the storm and crews are still out there hunting for those on board. The wreck popped up Saturday and an Air Force HC-130 Hercules from the 31st rescue squadron nailed the ID Sunday night. At 145 feet long, she was hauling freight when typhoon Solic slammed the islands with heavy rain and fierce winds. Back on Wednesday, the crew radioed an engine failure. The starboard one crapped out right as the storm closed in. They called for help, so Coast Guard locked in a one-hour check-in schedule to keep tabs, but Thursday, all contact vanished. A search plane lost from Guam that morning only to turn back because winds were too savage. Two teams aren't quitting. They're pressing the hunt across those rough Mariana's waters, hoping to bring everyone home safe. Local news, powered by AI.
