Never saw this mentioned before, from Dec 11? "Three crew members of a Dutch cargo ship were missing after the ship turned on its side in the Hudson River when its load of steel turbines apparently shifted, officials said.
Eight of the 18 crew members were thrown into the partly frozen river Tuesday. All eight were pulled out, but two were hospitalized for hypothermia. Seven others were rescued from the ship, some by helicopter.

But the remaining three were missing. Based on interviews with other crew members, the authorities believe they were in the hull of the ship, said Detective James Miller of the Albany police. But he said it was also possible that they were in the river. Temperatures in the area were in the 20s overnight." from AP

I know for sure they have found 2 of them. I am not sure if they have found the third one yet.

Very sad!
