Many of 800 aboard Philippines ferry feared dead
MANILA — Many of the 800 passengers and crew on a ferry that sunk off the Philippines are feared dead, the coast guard said Sunday.
The ferry sank in the aftermath of Typhoon Fengshen in the central Philippines, local officials said.
The typhoon also killed at least 18 people throughout the Philippines.
"The ship sank 3 kilometres from the shoreline. So far, we have only found four dead, no survivors," Eleandro Madrona, a local congressman, said on radio.
"I would assume people started to transfer to rubber boats after the captain abandoned the ship."
"You can only see the bow of the ship now, it's already down in the water," said Mr. Madrona citing accounts from villagers.
A local mayor also reported the ship had capsized and said passengers in life-jackets were seen bobbing in the sea.
The head of the coast guard, Admiral Wilfredo Tamayo, said he was still verifying the reports.
The National Disaster Co-ordinating Council reported flooding, landslides and power outages caused by toppled power pylons in many areas in the central Philippines.
