54 Sailors Dead After Trawler Sinks

The Daily Mail reports:

At least 54 sailors are dead and 63 have been rescued after a trawler sank off the Russian coast north of Japan. 

The freezer trawler with an international crew of 132 sank this morning in the freezing waters of the Sea of Okhotsk 205 miles off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. 

Emergency services in Kamchatka said 63 crew members of the Dalny Vostok were rescued with the sea's temperature near zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) - but a further 15 are still missing.
