Cargo ship El Faro missing in hurricane believed to have sunk: Coast Guard

The U.S. Coast Guard now believes that the missing cargo ship El Faro sank after sailing into the path of Hurricane Joaquin in the Bahamas, a spokesman said on Monday.

Rescuers continue to search for survivors, said Chief Petty Officer Bobby Nash in Miami.

"It’s still an active search and rescue," he said.
