Grounded Tanker Spilling Fuel in Alaska

AP Wire | 12/10/2004: "The 738-foot Selendang Ayu was cleaved neatly in two, both pieces grounded upright and parallel about 200 feet from the shore near Skan Bay on the western side of the island. Farther upshore lay the wreckage of the Coast Guard helicopter, its red fuselage blackened and barely recognizable.

The freighter belongs to Singapore-based IMC Group. IMC crew manager Loh C.W. Weng said the missing were five Indian citizens: Z.M. Vaz, age 46; Blaise M. Mascarenhas, 33; Narendra S. Yadav, 52; Durg V. Singh, 54; and Didlar Singh, 44. Carlos Flores Santiago, 45, is the missing crew member from the Philippines."
