Ferry Collision Victims Wash Ashore
From Times Wire Reports
Dozens of decomposing bodies have washed ashore in the past two days after a ferry collision on a fog-shrouded river, now known to have killed at least 178 people, Bangladeshi police said. More than 70 people were still missing and presumed dead after Friday’s collision between a double-deck ship carrying 400 passengers and another passenger ferry on the Meghna River, said Rafiqul Islam, a police officer supervising the search operation. Forty-eight bodies were recovered Tuesday floating nearly three miles from the accident site.
