10 U.S. Navy Sailors Missing After USS John S. McCain Collides with Oil Tanker
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ten US Navy sailors are missing and five were injured after the USS John
S. Mc Cain guided missile destroyer collided with an oil tanker near
Singapore this morning. It's the second time this summer that a Navy
ship has collided with another vessel at sea. In June, seven U.S.
sailors died after the USS Fitzgerald collided with a container ship
south of Japan. When asked about the collision, President Trump said,
"too bad, too bad."
