November 14, 2009 - Japan's coast guard has rescued all 28 people who were aboard a ferry that ran aground in the Pacific ocean.
Some of the passengers on board the 7,910-ton Ariake were winched onto a helicopter before the ship rolled onto its side. Others were saved by coastguard patrol ships after jumping into the sea.
