"USS John S McCain collision: Singapore will spare no effort to find missing crew members, says MPA
SINGAPORE: Search and rescue efforts for the 10 missing US Navy crew members in the collision between US warship USS John S McCain and an oil tanker will continue through the night, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) said in a statement on Monday evening (Aug 21).
Singapore authorities will spare no effort to try to find the missing crew members, MPA said, adding that about 250 people from various agencies have been deployed for the Singapore-led search and rescue operation."
When such accident happened, it usually shocked me hard n made me reexamine is it sensible to believe that just because we hv the most advance vessels n best trained sailors, such collision should never had happened?
This is the 2nd time a US Navel ship collided with commercial vessel in Asia. The last one happened in Japan!!
Hopefully the missing sailors will be found safe n sound as no one should lose their limbs n lives for such a "silly" collision. Most would say how can such big vessels not avoid each other at a clean sea!??
Puzzling indeed. Maybe they were meant to be?
ps: MPA committed to search for the missing sailors at all cost. Let's hope it is not a drain on our limited resources.
