U.S. Coast Guard crews rescued twenty people on Sunday after a 656-foot cargo ship caught fire and capsized off the coast of Brunswick, Georgia. Rescue crews have now made contact with four crew members still trapped inside.
All four crew members still trapped inside the Golden Ray, the cargo ship that capsized off the coast of Georgia, are alive, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard and salvage crews are developing a plan to safely extract them, officials said. Their condition are unknown. Four people were unaccounted for after the 656-foot vessel caught fire and overturned on the St. Simons Sound off the coast of Brunswick, Georgia, around 2 a.m. Sunday. Twenty people were safely removed on Sunday, officials said.
Black smoke could be seen emitting from the starboard side of the ship from shore after it caught fire, officials said. The smoke had subsided by Sunday afternoon, but it was still too dangerous to go inside, as crews hadn't determined whether the fire had yet subsided on the ship's interior.
