| Tai Fu: Typhoon Surfing in Japan - 227 sec TAI FU
From July to September each year, Japan lives in fear of Tai Fu - or typhoons - that are renowned for taking lives and devastating coastlines. When the typhoons hit, everyone from the hi-tech cities to sleepy fishing towns stop and brace themselves for the hellish onslaught.
Last month, in a continuation of his quest to traverse the globe in search of new and challenging waves, Australia's veteran big-wave adventurer, Ross Clarke-Jones set out to harness that energy and surf a typhoon in Japan.
Ross was joined by local Japanese tow-surfer Shimpei Horiguchi and a crew of some of the most experienced big-wave surfers on the planet including Tom Carroll, Brazilian Carlos Burle, Hawaiians Ian Walsh and Jun Jo and fellow Aussie Beau Emerton.

| Typhoon Sinks Ferry with Over 700 People Onboard! - 159 sec Over 700 people remain missing after the "Princess of the Star" ferry in which they were traveling sank during typhoon Fengshen.
Rescuers are making their way through rough seas to search for missing people as the typhoon continues to rage. With winds of up to 120 miles per hour, Fengshen struck the central and northern Philippines on Saturday. A coast guard rescue ship reached the waters off Sibuyan Island, 300 kilometres south of Manila, where the MV Princess of the Stars sank after running aground.
A hole in the hull was seen as the ferry lay submerged about a kilometer and a half from the shore of Sibuyan. Weather has prevented rescuers from reaching nearby islands where survivors could have drifted.
A U.S. Navy ship from Okinawa, Japan, was expected to arrive early Tuesday near Sibuyan Island south of Manila, where the ferry sank.
Only 38 people had been rescued, including 28 passengers and crew members who came ashore Monday after drifting at sea since Saturday. One survivor recounted the sinking: "There were many children trapped inside the boat. I could hear them wailing before the boat sank," said Renato Lanorias, a crew member of the 23,824-ton ferry who survived by clinging to the rope of a life raft until he hit land, along with three others.
Lanorias said he could not forget the hundreds of bodies floating at sea and the cries for help from the victims as the ship keeled over and went under.
Princess of the Stars, owned by Sulpicio Lines, sailed from Manila at 8 a.m. on Friday on a 22-hour trip to Cebu City with 626 passengers and 121 crewmen. Among the passengers were 31 infants and 20 children. Tags: typhoon Frengshen Frank ferry sinks Princess Star sink Philippines disaster ship boat capsized storm |
