Nearly 400 people are missing, feared drowned, after a ferry carrying about 750 people capsized and sank in south-eastern Bangladesh.
The triple-decked ferry, the MV Nasrin-1, had been travelling from the capital, Dhaka, to Lalmohan when it hit turbulent waters near the town of Chandpore just before midnight. Initial reports suggest the ferry may have been overcrowded, not just with passengers, but also with a big cargo of rice and vegetables. Bangladeshi shipping minister, Akbar Hussein, said around 200 people had managed to swim to shore.
