Search for bodies after ferry capsizes

SCUBA DIVERS were last night continuing to search for bodies in a reservoir near the Colombian city of Medellin where a tourist boat packed with more than 150 passengers capsized, leaving at least seven people dead and 13 missing.

Rescuers, including firefighters and air force pilots in helicopters, searched for survivors at the Guatape reservoir where the

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.

In the absence of a passenger list, authorities have been relying on family members and survivors to report their whereabouts. Overnight they reduced to 15 the number of people missing, down from an earlier count of twice that amount.

Dramatic videos circulating on social media show the boat rocking back and forth as people crawled down from a fourth-floor roof as it sank in a matter of minutes.
