Japan's search for crew of capsized cattle ship still suspended
Their ship, the Gulf Livestock 1, had sent a distress call from the west of Amami Oshima island in southwestern Japan last Wednesday as Typhoon Maysak lashed the area with strong winds and heavy seas. The search was suspended due to bad weather on Saturday, when Typhoon Haishen was headed towards southwestern Japan. The ship had been carrying 43 crew members and nearly 6,000 cattle.
