At
least 112 bodies have been recovered after a packed ferry capsized in
Bangladesh, police said Wednesday. At least 35 survivors have been
rescued, said local police chief Shahabuddin Khan, who is supervising
the rescue operation. Khan could not say how many people were on
the ferry when it sank early Tuesday in southern Bangladesh. The MV
Shariatpur-1 sank in the Meghna River after colliding with a cargo
ferry while passengers slept, a survivor said. "We were seven in a
cabin in the ferry, and six of my family members are still missing,"
Mohammad Dulal Dewan told CNN Tuesday.
