China suspends rescue, begins righting capsized ship in Yangtze River - TomoNews

Updated: 05 Jun 2015

JIANLI COUNTY, CHINA — Chinese officials began an operation to right a capsized tour ship in the Yangtze River at 8:00 p.m. (1200 GMT) on Thursday. The ship overturned during what Chinese weather officials are calling a freak tornado on Monday night. Fourteen survivors were rescued the day of the capsize, since then 75 more dead bodies have been recovered while over 370 passengers remain missing, Reuters reports. Among those rescued is the captain of the ship, who has been detained for questioning. Submerged vessels are usually left undisturbed if survivors are believed to be inside, as movement of the ship may risk disturbing air pockets, said Alan Loynd, managing director of Hong Kong-based Branscombe Marine Consultants, which specializes in salvage operations, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. Air pockets are areas of air which could allow people to survive "for quite some time". The transport ministry said righting the ship will allow rescuers to search for missing people more efficiently and protect the dignity of the deceased, Xinhua News Agency reported. Yangtze River authorities have also ordered Chongqing Eastern Shipping Corp., the owner of the Eastern Star, to suspend operations of its sister vessel, the Eastern Pearl. The company has been ordered to carry out a comprehensive investigation of the rest of its fleet, Xinhua reported. The Eastern Pearl has the same design as the Eastern Star. ------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.

China Cruise Ship Sinks in Yangtze River After Tornado - 457 People Missing: More than 400 people are missing after a Chinese passenger boat sank on the Yangtze river after being hit by what the captain described as a cyclone. At least 458 people were travelling on the Dongfangzhixing, or Eastern Star, vessel when it went down at around 11pm on Monday night not far from the city of Jingzhou in Hubei province. By Tuesday morning, local reports said 30 people had been rescued with heavy rain and strong winds hindering the work of emergency teams. China’s prime minister, Li Keqiang, was heading to the scene of the disaster “to lead the rescue effort”, according to local media. The president, Xi Jinping, ordered an “all-out” search and rescue effort as China braced itself for a major disaster. Eastern Star had been travelling from Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province, to the south-western city of Chongqing when the incident happened, according to Xinhua, China’s official news agency. After encountering extreme weather conditions that crew members described as a cyclone the ship “sank quickly”. Initial reports said there were 405 Chinese passengers, five travel agency employees and 47 crew members on the ship. Most of the passengers were aged between 50 and 80, the Hubei Daily newspaper reported. The People’s Daily, the Communist party’s official newspaper, published a photograph of a vessel that is similar to the Eastern Star and is operated by the same boat operator on its Twitter account. The Eastern Star was 251 feet long, 36 feet wide and had could carry 534 people, the newspaper added. On Tuesday morning, its wreckage was around 15 metres beneath the surface of the river, the Hubei Daily added.
