اِنْدَلَعَ حَرِيقٌ فِي عَبَّارَةِ الرُّكَّابِ «جُون أَسْتَر» قُرْبَ كُورُونَ فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ بَالَاوَانَ بِالفِلِبِّينِ، مَسَاءَ الأَرْبِعَاءِ ٩ سِبْتَمْبِرَ.
قَالَ خَفَرُ السَّوَاحِلِ إِنَّ خَمْسَةَ أَشْخَاصٍ تُوُفُّوا. وَقَالَ إِنَّ سَبْعَةً وَثَمَانِينَ شَخْصًا لَمْ تَعْثُرْ عَلَيْهِمْ فِرَقُ الإِنْقَاذِ بَعْدُ.
أَنْقَذَتْ فِرَقُ الإِنْقَاذِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَرْبَعِينَ شَخْصًا، مِنْهُمْ رُكَّابٌ وَعَامِلُونَ فِي العَبَّارَةِ. وَشَارَكَتْ سُفُنٌ مَحَلِّيَّةٌ فِي عَمَلِيَّةِ الإِنْقَاذِ.
كَانَتِ العَبَّارَةُ ذَاهِبَةً مِنْ مَانِيلَا إِلَى كُورُونَ. وَكَانَ عَلَيْهَا ١٣٤ شَخْصًا. وَتُوَاصِلُ السُّلُطَاتُ البَحْثَ فِي البَحْرِ، وَتُحَقِّقُ فِي سَبَبِ الحَرِيقِ. وَقَدْ تَتَغَيَّرُ الأَرْقَامُ مَعَ اِسْتِمْرَارِ العَمَلِيَّةِ.
