820 missing as ferry capsizes in typhoon
- Ferry leaves Manila on Friday
- 626 passengers and 121 crew on board
- Engines failed Saturday afternoon
- Radio contact lost soon afterwards
- Rescuers reach ship on Sunday afternoon
The ferry was en route to Cebu from Manila when it capsized on Saturday
Coast guard chief Vice Adm. Wilfredo Tamayo said 28 survivors of the ferry disaster had been found. Manila’s DZBB radio said the survivors, including four crewmen and three women, drifted at sea for more than 24 hours wearing their life jackets, reaching Mulanay township in eastern Quezon province late Sunday.
Coast guard frogmen who managed to get to the stricken ship got no response when they rapped on the hull with metal instruments, then had to give up late Sunday due to the strong waves. The ship carried more than 740 passengers and crew.
Update I: 800 missing as typhoon Philippines ferry … 32 survivors recovered.
The recovery brought to 32 the number of survivors recovered from the sinking of the Princess of the Stars Saturday off the coast of Sibuyan Island in the central Philippines.
On Sunday, four survivors were found in San Fernando town on Sibuyuan island.
The 24,000-tonne ferry sank after running aground due to huge waves and strong winds spawned by Typhoon Fengshen, which left at least 152 people dead.

UPDATE II: Divers retrieve bodies from Philippine ferry
While the divers have only found bodies so far, officials were not willing to give up hope of finding more survivors among the more than 800 people missing since the seven-story ferry listed and went down in a half-hour or less Saturday.
“There is a slim chance that we can still find survivors” insided the ferry, coast guard Lt. Cmdr Rogelio Villanueva said. “As the days pass, indeed the chance is getting slimmer.”

The U.S. Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, CA, are missing and confirmed 
that the status of Lance Cpl. Margaret McMahon and Pfc. George “Kevyn” Reid II was officially changed to “unauthorized absence”. Police believe that the couple may have run away together, even though McMahon’s mother fears she had been abducted.
McMahon’s mother, who fears she may have been abducted, filed a missing person’s report with the Escondido Police Department, the town where the couple shared an apartment about 20 miles from the base.
Investigators searched the couple’s apartment Thursday, Lt. Robert Benton of the Escondido Police Department told ABC News, and found no evidence of foul play.
“We don’t have any information that suggests that there’s any suspicious circumstance other than they are voluntarily missing,” Benton said.
Benton said the couple’s Chevrolet Cavalier, which is either white or silver in color, is also missing.
Benton said the couple’s Chevrolet Cavalier, which is either white or silver in color, is also missing.
UPDATE I: Missing Marine seen on ATM video in Midwest
After viewing McMahon, 20, on video Tuesday trying to withdraw money in Salina, Kan., police dropped their investigation, saying the evidence confirms that McMahon was outside their jurisdiction. Police said they “relinquished” the investigation to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
Lance Cpl. McMahon was identified by a relative who viewed the video, in which McMahon appeared to be alone, police said. Also on Tuesday, a day after McMahon had gone missing, someone withdrew $400 from McMahon’s bank account in Hazelwood, Mo.
McMahon, who family members said a day earlier had argued with her new husband, fellow Marine Pfc. George Kevlyn Reid, 22, appeared to be under “no duress” in the cash-machine video, said Escondido police Lt. Neal Griffin.
UPDATE II: Missing Marines May Have Gone AWOL
Theory Couple Wanted to Avoid Being Sent to Iraq
UPDATE III: Missing Marine Contacts Family
UPDATE IV: Lance Cpl. Margaret McMahon-Reid and Pfc. George Reid II surrender to military officials
A newlywed Marine couple living in Escondido created a national stir when they went missing for days, only to surrender to military officials last week after making a cross-country trip.
McMahon-Reid has resumed her duties at Camp Pendleton. Her husband is being held in the brig at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, where he is stationed. Marine officials wouldn’t explain why one spouse is behind bars and the other isn’t.
They also haven’t said whether the couple would be punished. If Reid and McMahon-Reid are charged with going “absent without official leave,” or AWOL, their case would hardly be unique.
