Japan’s coast guard confirms that 10 of the 26 people from tour boat that sank are confirmed dead, others still missing
Rescue workers transport a person found in the waters off Hokkaido as the hunt for survivors continues.
"We have confirmed the deaths of all 10 people" who have so far been retrieved, a coastguard spokesperson said. A search-and-rescue operation began immediately, but hopes soon began to fade for the 26 people on board, including two children and two crew, because of the cold temperatures in the region.The boat had set out on Saturday morning on a sightseeing cruise of the sort that is popular in the Shiretoko Peninsula, a designated UNESCO World Heritage site for its pristine natural environment and diverse wildlife.
