Families anxiously awaited news of the 12 people missing from a capsized oil industry vessel Thursday while divers searching for survivors knocked on the ship's hull without response.
Rescuers don't know whether any of the missing might be caught inside the liftboat called the Seacor Power that flipped over Tuesday in hurricane-force winds and high seas about 8 miles off the coast of Louisiana, Coast Guard spokesmen said.
"There is the potential they are still there, but we don't know," Petty Officer 2nd Class Jonathan Lally said Thursday. "We're still searching for 12 people because there are 12 still missing."
