Worried families are awaiting word of the fate of 11 workers who went missing when a oil drilling support vessel capsized in rough seas earlier this weekPORT FOURCHON, La. Six people were rescued Tuesday shortly after the vessel capsized, and one other body was recovered from the water Wednesday. The large housing structure above the deck of the lift boat will likely pose significant challenges for the divers, naval architect David Bourg said. Two of the missing workers had been communicating with rescuers by two-way radio Tuesday after the ungainly platform ship flipped over in hurricane-force winds that day. Walcott, who has also worked on lift boats, said the boats are not designed for travel in rough weather.
