PHOENIX (AP) — Two Chinese sailors died and six are believed to be missing after their boat sank in the Pacific Ocean, an official at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base said Sunday.
Maj. Sarah Schwennesen said that a Venezuelan fishing boat reported finding 11 sailors floating in a raft Friday afternoon.
She said the Venezuelan crew said four sailors were badly burned. Two later died of their injuries.
Airmen from the 563rd Rescue Group parachuted into the water Saturday afternoon and used inflatable boats to reach the Venezuelan vessel, which is 1,100 nautical miles west of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Schwennesen said. They treated the injured sailors Saturday and into Sunday morning.

Chinese sailors
a Venezuelan fishing boat
1,100 nautical miles west of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico,
Why would a Seattle newspaper use a Phoenix AP source to report on Two Chinese sailors who died and six are believed to be missing after their boat sank that were found by a Venezuelan fishing boat found 1,100 nautical miles west of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
I’m also curious as to why Venezuelans are fishing in the Pacific.
The Pacific is a long way from Venezuela by boat.
It’s an AP story and was picked up by other outlets, but none in California I can find so far.
I’m confused.
Both crews seem curious.

The Chinese are everywhere! I can’t take a bath without a couple of them jumping in.
