Another Bangladesh Disaster

Another Bangladesh Disaster

Dozens of people have been killed in Bangladesh after an overcrowded ferry carrying nearly 100 passengers capsized following a collision with a motor launch. The casualty occurred near Kishoreganj, about 150 km east of the capital Dhaka. So far 43 bodies have been found. [According to police, the boats struck each other on a bend in the river in foggy conditions.]  

The incident comes after another ferry disaster last week. Rescue efforts have now been called off, with 87 bodies found and dozens still missing. The triple-decker Coco was carrying nearly 1,500 people.
