NEW YORK (AP) Superstorm Sandy is now being blamed for at least 16 deaths in the U.S.

One person who died was a crewmember a replica of the 18th-century sailing ship HMS Bounty that was built for the 1962 Marlon Brando movie "Mutiny on the Bounty.''

The ship went down off North Carolina during the storm.

The captain is still missing.

Wall Street will be closed for a second day today because of the superstorm that's pummeling the East Coast.

Hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses are without power in New York City, and utility officials say it could be a week before some of them get their electricity back.

Some 6.2 million customers are without electricity across the East.
