Budapest, Hungary • Rescue crews in Hungary’s capital were preparing to raise a sightseeing boat from the bottom of the Danube River Thursday as search teams scoured the waters for 21 people missing after the vessel, packed with South Korean tourists, collided with a larger cruise ship and sank.
Seven people are confirmed dead and seven were rescued, all of them South Koreans, Hungarian officials said. Hungary's state TV reported that all those rescued have been released from the hospital except one who's being treated for broken ribs. Police launched a criminal investigation into the incident.
