FERRY WITH 100 ABROAD SINKS IN BANGLADESH


DHAKA, Bangladesh - Local police chief Jamil Ahmed said, a ferry carrying about 100 passengers capsized in a river in eastern Bangladesh on Thursday, leaving at least 13 people dead and dozens more feared missing, a police official said.
It reported, the villagers and rescuers plucked 13 bodies from the River Meghna in Brahmanbaria and divers were looking for more. Many passengers were able to swim ashore after the accident, but the number of missing was unclear'
  • The ferry apparently went down after hitting the wreckage of another cargo ferry that sunk a few days ago, Ahmed said.
  • He said police would investigate the accident, which took place about 80 kilometers east of the capital, Dhaka.
Ferry accidents, often blamed on overcrowding and lax rules, are common in Bangladesh, a delta nation of 150 million people.
