Unalaska, AK – A crewman from a transiting coal carrier went overboard about 40 miles north of Unalaska on Sunday. The Coast Guard searched 1,479 square miles with helicopters, aircraft, and the help of marine vessels but could not find John Ree Payla, age 21, of the Philippines. The search was called off on Monday evening. Payla's uniform was found on the back deck of the ship. The 754-foot, Panamanian-flagged vessel, Corona Infinity, was carrying coal to Prince Rupert, British Columbia.
