>A salvage team is en route to a cargo ship carrying almost 3,000 vehicles that was abandoned in the Pacific Ocean after a fire broke out earlier this week off Alaska’s Aleutian Islands.
The 600-foot Morning Midas remains adrift approximately 300 miles southwest of Adak Island, according to the US Coast Guard, which is continuing to monitor the situation via satellite.
Photographs show the vessel still smoking hundreds of miles from the nearest coastline days after the initial distress signal was received. Thick columns of smoke can be seen billowing into the sky.
Incredibly, all 22 crew members were safely evacuated onto a lifeboat on Tuesday afternoon and later rescued by a nearby merchant vessel.
