The bodies of 14 crew from a sunken oil rig were located Monday off Russia’s Sakhalin island as searches for survivors went into a second day amid fears that 39 missing would not be found alive. Officials earlier Monday released conflicting figures of the death toll and the owner of the Kolskaya oil rig even claimed that rescuers had spotted a raft with around 15 possible survivors before backtracking.
