 MANIKGANJ, Bangladesh (AP) - Three ferry accidents in Bangladesh in the past week have left at least 133 people dead, officials said Friday as hope faded for 187 people still missing
Twelve more bodies recovered Friday in the Padma River were all from the M.L. Raipura, a double-deck ferry that went down during a storm Tuesday with about 250 people on board in Manikganj district, 25 miles northwest of the capital, Dhaka.
Another 157 people were unaccounted for, said Abdur Razzak, a police diver. "Decomposing bodies are now surfacing in the river," he said. "There is very little chance of finding alive those who are still missing."
