Two U.S. Servicemen Missing After Typhoon

Typhoon Peter whipped up seas and caused landslides as it gained speed on its way across western Japan on Saturday. Two U.S. servicemen were missing in the storm.

The typhoon, which came ashore near Nagasaki on Saturday morning, paralyzed much of the island of Kyushu. Flights and ferries connecting it with other parts of Japan were canceled.

Two U.S. servicemen were missing in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, 290 miles southwest of Tokyo, police said. The two were identified as John Vosganian and John Kramer.
