  "account": "A search and rescue operation is underway following the sinking of a cargo ship off the eastern coast of India, according to the Indian Coast Guard. The Panama-flagged Ocean Winner, carrying 24 crew members, went down on Friday. Two Chinese nationals were rescued on Saturday, leaving 22 individuals unaccounted for. The rescued crew members stated that the vessel began tilting and sank within eight minutes, forcing the crew to abandon ship. The cause of the list, or tilting, was not immediately known. The chances of finding survivors diminish significantly after 12 hours, but rescuers are persisting in their efforts. The missing crew consists of 18 Chinese nationals, three Myanmar nationals, and one Bangladeshi, as reported by the Indian Coast Guard. The Indian Coast Guard deployed three ships to conduct surface searches for the remaining crew members. The ship was located approximately 240 nautical miles off the coast of Odisha, carrying iron ore from Paradip port in Odisha to Singapore, based on information from the Indian Express. The ship was tracked by MarineTraffic. It is important to support trusted reporting by selecting this source as your Preferred Source on Google through the provided link and button.",
