Jul 01, 2008 0 Comments by nathan

Reuters is reporting that a Chinese flagged bulk cargo ship carrying 4000 tons of iron ore capsized in the East Yellow Sea on June 28th.  5 were killed, with 5 others missing.  Reports indicate 4 sailors were rescued in the incident.  I’ve been unable to locate a photo of the vessel, but would be interested in seeing what it looked like in better days.
