Search and rescue operations have intensified to find the 20 remaining members of the ship Abracadabra that sunk of the coast of Montecristi earlier this week. A US Coast Guard unit, as a well as the Civil Defense unit, the Dominican Navy and the Dominican Air Force are conducting searches of the area hoping to find any survivors. So far 19 people have been rescued but as the days go by, all hopes of finding survivors is fading. Hoy writes that a C-130 search plane from the US will be used, beginning today, in the search operation and Captain Valentino Cano said that the DR is asking for Haitian cooperation on the matter because of the possibility that some survivors might be in Haitian territorial waters.
