Originally Published 2 years ago — by Reuters Canada
Families of Mexican sailors missing since Hurricane Otis devastated Acapulco are frustrated by the lack of progress and government assistance in the search for their loved ones. While officials report 28 people unaccounted for, families believe the number is higher. Many sailors jumped on their moored boats to seek safety, but were caught off guard by the storm's intensity, resulting in the destruction of hundreds of boats. Mexican business groups estimate the economic damage to the city at $16 billion, while insurance companies expect to pay around $662 million in claims.
