Philippines ships sink after collision sparks deadly blaze
U S Embassy spokesman said no Americans aboard due to lack of manifests. About 90,000 Americans in the Philippines were uncounted by active duty. Witnesses spoke of sea in flames and widespread panic as flames and smoke filled the sea. Rescue ships and the presidential yacht joined the search but survivors remained scarce. The report notes the Mont Blanc disaster as a historical comparison.
