Sub Collision Survivors Leave Hawaii

Search Continues For Survivors

Nine student survivors of the collision between the USS Greeneville and the Japanese fishing vessel Ehime Maru left Hawaii for Japan Monday, as the search continued for the nine crewmen who are still missing from the vessel.

The students, who were wearing donated clothes, and one teacher boarded a flight for Osaka Monday afternoon.

Meanwhile, officials took the families of missing crew members to the site where the U.S. Navy submarine sank the Japanese fishing boat on Friday.

The families arrived in Hawaii Sunday. They took a private charter boat Monday to the area about 9 miles southwest of Diamond Head where the Greeneville collided with the Ehime Maru.

The Ehime Maru carried 35 crew members, including teachers and 13 high school students who were on board for training. The students were from Uwajima Fisheries High School in Ehime Prefecture.

U.S. Coast Guard and Navy teams continued to search for the missing crew members Monday morning.

Three separate investigations have been launched into the crash by the Coast Guard, the Navy and the National Transportation Safety Board. (Click here for the latest on the investigation)
