Divers Find Gold Ore Off Pacific Coast
On November 7, 2012 the article, "Amurskaya, Sunken Russian Ship, Carrying Gold Ore, Found Off Pacific Coast" was published in The Huffington Post by an unknown author. On October 28, 2012, the freighter Amurskaya sailed into the Sea of Okhotsk. However, the weather conditions that day made it impossible for any ships to set sail. The owner of this ship ignored the weather warnings, and instructed the ship to continue to sail that day, with 700 tons of gold ore on board. When the weather conditions became worse, a distress call was made from the ship. However it was too late, because the Amurskaya sank about 230 feet below the Sea of Okhotsk, a part of the Pacific Ocean. Eleven of its crew members are still missing, and a criminal charge has been issued for the ship's owner, who is being charged of improper cargo procedures, and instructing the ship to sail despite the weather conditions. Although divers found the gold ore on November 7, there is still no news of how much gold the ore contained.
