Chinese man still missing in seas off Bahamas
(03-12 11:16)
Authorities searched off the Bahamas for a Chinese man who apparently became lost in rough weather during a fishing trip. Three companions were rescued.
Three of the four men were employees of China State Construction working on the Baha Mar, a resort and casino complex being built and financed by Beijing along Cable Beach near Nassau, according to a project spokeswoman.
The four had gone out to fish around noon Sunday when they ran into rough weather, police said, AP reports. Three of the men were later rescued and one other is missing.
The US Coast Guard and authorities from the nearby Turks and Caicos Islands were assisting the Bahamas with the search.
Police initially reported the men had been in a kayak, but it was actually a raft. The men had set off from Jaws Beach on the western tip of New Providence, the island that includes Nassau, the capital.
