KALAMATA, Greece (AP) — Rescue workers transferred the bodies of dead migrants to refrigerated trucks as a major search continued Thursday for possible survivors of a sea disaster in southern Greece. The search operation south of Greece’s Peloponnese region failed to locate any more bodies or survivors overnight or early Thursday. “The chances of finding (more survivors) are minimal,” retired Greek coast guard admiral Nikos Spanos told state-run ERT television. An aerial photograph of the vessel before it sank released by Greek authorities showed people crammed on the deck. Twenty-nine of the survivors in southern Greece remain hospitalized, mostly with symptoms of hypothermia, while eight have been questioned by coast guard investigators.
