S. Korea hoists sunken warship, finds 36 bodies

South Korea lifted part of a warship from the sea, nearly three weeks after it mysteriously exploded and sank with dozens of sailors trapped inside. Salvage workers found the bodies of 36 crew members in the retrieved vessel.

Fifty-eight crew members were rescued shortly after the 1,200-ton Cheonan split into two pieces after exploding March 26 during a routine patrol near the tense border with North Korea. So far, 38 bodies have been recovered, while eight sailors remain unaccounted for. (AP)
