Search suspended for 18 missing from ethanol tanker blast
Coast Guard suspended the search for 18 missing crew members after the Bow Mariner exploded and sank about 50 miles off Virginia. Three men died, six rescued, and two injured crew treated as investigations focus on cause and fuel spill. The tanker carried 3.5 million gallons of ethanol and more diesel and fuel oil, with oil slick and cold water hindering survival prospects. Environmental officials warn about fuel oil reaching shores as models predict the spill drifting offshore.
