More Than 100 Missing in Ferry SinkingSome 246 people were
rescued following the sinking of a passenger
ferry off of the east coast of
Papua New Guinea, but scores are still unaccounted for and feared dead. About 350 people, many of them students, were aboard the MV
Rabaul Queen when it sank on Thursday. It is possible that many of the missing were trapped inside the ferry when it went under, but rescuers are still searching in the hopes of locating more survivors.
