Ship’s captain arrested

Hungarian police have detained the captain of a cruise ship that collided with a sightseeing boat packed with South Korean tourists, causing it to sink quickly in the Danube River. Loved ones of the missing and dead began to arrive in Budapest yesterday. Seven people were confirmed dead and seven had been rescued, while 21 people remained missing in the waters after the crash. A South Korean group on a package tour of Europe — including 30 tourists, two guides and a photographer — were on an hourlong sightseeing tour of Budapest when their boat collided with a Viking cruise ship during a downpour on Thursday. Nineteen South Koreans and two Hungarian crew members remain missing. The boat’s sinking has touched a nerve in South Korea, where many are still traumatised over a 2014 ferry sinking that killed more than 300 people, mostly students.
