Coast Guard hunts for missing after weekend ship and plane losses
Authorities report 44 dead or missing from a spate of weekend crashes at sea and in the air. Rescue crews scour thousands of square miles of ocean as 38 feared-dead aboard ships and planes are confirmed missing. Additional victims include a Los Angeles family of four and New England fishing crews amid a violent nor’easter off Massachusetts coast. Coast Guard units, five cutters and three fast rescue boats, search a 30,000 square mile area at dawn while ships near New Bed, Massachusetts, reunite survivors and recover the afflicted. The Chesapeake Bay tug Lorraine is found with five crew members missing and one body recovered, as efforts continue along Jamaica’s coast and in the Caribbean where naval units aid the search.
