DOZENS MISSING AFTER TOURIST BOAT SINKS

- AP

A tourist boat packed with about 160 passengers for the holiday weekend capsized Sunday on a reservoir near the city of Medellin, leaving at least nine people dead and 28 missing. Rescuers including firefighte­rs and air force pilots in helicopter­s searched for survivors at the Guatape reservoir where El Almirante ferry sank. A flotilla of recreation­al boats and jet skis rushed to the scene, pulling people from the boat as it went down and avoiding an even deadlier tragedy. Margarita Moncada, the head of the disaster response agency in Antioquia, said 99 people were rescued and another 40 managed to find a way to shore on their own. Survivors recalled a loud explosion that knocked out power a few minutes after the boat began its cruise. / Health care’s a very complicate­d subject from the standpoint that you move it this way, and this group doesn’t like it. And honestly, nobody can be totally happy.
