The ferry is in about 50 feet of water, but it has turned upside down. Part of the hull can be seen above the water. The ferry is about two miles from shore.
As many as 430 people are missing. There are more than 50 boats and 3,000 people involved in the rescue, along with 183 divers. Rescuers are presently trying to cut holes in the hull to get survivors out. Six passengers have been rescued so far through such a hole, after banging was heard inside.
Relatives stormed the local government offices when the ferry boat company did not respond to calls. Police were called to help keep the peace.
