UPDATE: 4 Missing Crew of M/V Golden Ray SAFELY RESCUED

USCG reports all four have been rescued and are alive!

Overturned cargo ship's missing crew members are alive, Coast Guard says

Coast Guard rescuers found four South Korean crew members trapped inside a massive cargo ship off
the coast of Georgia by rappelling down the side and drilling a hole through the
hull to contact them on Monday. "The early indication is they are on board and
OK," Lieutenant Lloyd Heflin told The Associated Press.

Heflin said the rescue team was communicating with the trapped sailors through
the hole they drilled, but getting them out remained quite challenging.
The capsizing of the Golden Ray in Georgia's St. Simons Sound early Sunday
caused fires and smoke, and while the flames were now apparently out, the huge
ship was listing at roughly 90 degrees, with more than 4,000 vehicles inside it.


fyi:
The ship is owned by Hyundai Glovis, which carries cars for automakers Hyundai
and Kia as well as others. Brunswick is one of the busiest U.S. seaports for
shipping automobiles.

Good news, and I hope they continue to stay safe and get home soon.

That said, this was all I could think of.

It's good news.

Last I heard, they had three out of four.

No one left behind is always good.
