Bodies found after South China Sea Typhoon Shipwreck, 3 rescued, 26 more People missing
1. Twelve bodies have been found following a shipwreck in the South China Sea over the weekend that left the crew of 30 missing, Chinese authorities said Monday.
The announcement came days after an engineering vessel 160 nautical miles (296 kilometers) southwest of Hong Kong suffered substantial damage and broke into two pieces during a typhoon.
"As of 3:30 pm on July 4, rescue forces found and recovered 12 bodies, suspected to be of victims who drowned, in an area around 50 nautical miles southwest of the site where the vessel sank," said the Guangdong Maritime Search and Rescue Centre in a notice on Monday, AFP reported.
"The relevant departments are stepping up identity confirmation work," the notice added.
Three people had been rescued on Saturday and one more in the early hours of Monday, according to Chinese state media, leaving 26 more people still unaccounted for.
Dramatic footage provided by Hong Kong authorities earlier showed a person being airlifted onto a helicopter while waves crashed over the deck of the semi-submerged ship below.
Typhoon Chaba formed in the central part of the South China Sea and on Saturday afternoon made landfall in southern China's Guangdong province.
