I can see four or five coast guard vessels in an arc around the ship with search lights playing on th

arch rescue teams goingout to the ship. And through the day, we know that divers have been going

down into the decks that aresubmerged now and looking through the cabins and staterooms there,

and this operation continues, and it mustdo with so many people still unaccounted for.
