Rescuers searching for four missing crew members have heard noises from inside a cargo ship that overturned and caught fire off Georgia's coast, the Coast Guard says.
Smoke rises from a cargo ship that capsized in the St. Simons Island, Georgia sound Sunday, Sept. 8, 2019.
A Coast Guard helicopter was able to land on the side of the ship Monday as part of the rescue effort. Dickinson sought Monday to clarify comments Coast Guard Station Brunwick Commander Justin Irwin made to The Brunswick News on Sunday. Irwin said they heard tapping from locations coming from inside the vessel, and that Coast Guard members were tapping back on the Golden Ray’s hull to let them know they are not forgotten.
Reed told a news conference Sunday afternoon that the Coast Guard was trying to determine if it’s safe to get inside.
