Sad to say, there were fatalities. Source: 3 feared dead as salvage mission launched for disabled car carrier in Pacific Nissan confirms 3,500 vehicles are on board troubled ship Merchant vessels responding to distress calls have rescued 16 crew members from a large car carrier adrift in the Pacific Ocean, about 1,800 miles northwest of the Hawaiian island of Oahu, following a fire, the U.S. Coast Guard said. The Sincerity Ace, a Panamanian-flagged roll-on/roll-off vessel with a capacity of 5,200 vehicles, was headed to Hawaii and U.S. mainland ports with Nissans, and possibly other vehicles. Bob Wilson
Yeah, super sad to hear people lost their lives on this. A big thanks to the ships that helped rescue the crew. Fingers crossed the ecological fallout is minimal.
