At least 10 of the 26 people on board a tour boat that sank in Japan have died, the country’s coast guard has confirmed.
Earlier, the authorities had said rescue helicopters had found nine people – but did not confirm if any of them were alive.Footage on the channel showed one of the rescued people arriving on a helicopter and being transferred to an ambulance on a stretcher, while rescuers held up blue plastic shields for privacy.
The location is known as a difficult place to manoeuvre boats because of its rocky coastline and the same tour boat had an accident there last year. Sunday’s rescue came after nearly 19 hours of intense search involving six patrol boats, several aircraft and divers. The coast guard said the search continued through the night.
