Thirty-eight Filipino seafarers remained missing in chilly waters off southwestern Japan a day after their cargo ship capsized on Wednesday, September 2, 2020, as Typhoon “Maysak” smashed into
The Panamanian-flagged Gulf Livestock 1 had a total 43 crew members, consisting of 39 Filipinos, two Australians and two New Zealand nationals, and was transporting 6,000 cattle from New Zealand to China when it sent a distress signal on Wednesday from waters off Amami Oshima Island in southwestern Japan after being caught up in Typhoon Maysak.
The Philippine Consulate General in Osaka said Japan’s Coast Guard will launch a second search and rescue mission amid the incoming typhoon. Flights were canceled or delayed and downed trees and other debris caused light damage after Maysak, the ninth typhoon of the season, hit the peninsula with its 170-kilometer-per-hour winds, according to the South Korea Yonhap News Agency.
One person died when winds shattered a window in Busan, which bore the brunt of the storm, Yonhap reported. Parts of the South Korean resort island of Jeju reported more than 1,000 millimeters of rainfall since Tuesday, according to the weather agency.
