Eight dead in Hong Kong ferry crash

  • 12 years ago
The scene after a ferry packed with passengers collided with a tugboat south of Hong Kong.

At least eight people are dead, and more than a dozen are missing.

Rescue workers say they've pulled just over a hundred people from the water. Many had taken the ferry to Victoria Harbour to watch fireworks in honor of China's National Day.

The ferry sank quickly, and only its red and blue bow remained visible.
