Search Suspended for Missing Crew After Fishing Boat Capsizes in Alaska

The Coast Guard has suspended its search for five crew members missing after a fishing boat capsized in the Gulf of Alaska amid treacherous weather conditions, including heavy snow and 60-mph winds. Despite efforts involving Good Samaritans and the Coast Guard, no survivors have been found, and empty survival suits were discovered, raising concerns about the fate of the missing individuals. A mayday call was initially sent by the fishing vessel before it overturned, leading to an extensive but ultimately unsuccessful rescue operation.
