Dramatic footage: Japan coast guards rescue Chinese sailors from sunken ship

Japanese patrol vessels have rescued three of the 25 mainland Chinese crew members who went missing after their Taiwanese cargo ship lost contact and apparently sunk off a southern Japan island. Japan's Coast Guard said on Friday it joined the rescue effort at the request of Taiwanese authorities after the Panama-registered cargo ship Nasco Diamond lost contact early on Wednesday on open seas, about 340 kilometres south of Japan's southern island of Iriomote. The survivors, all in their twenties, told Japanese authorities the ship capsized after sea water gushed into a storage area for unknown reasons, a coast guard official said.
