A total of nine bodies have been discovered since the Russian "Bulgaria" boat sank Sunday, with local authorities claiming there is little chance for survivors to be found.
A total of 80 people have been rescued, but scores are still missing after the two-deck river cruiser sank in the Volga river.
Chances that any survivors may be found are decreasing, Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Irina Andrianova has said, according to the Daily News Engine.
There were more than 170 people on board of the riverboat, including at least 30 children. The "Bulgaria" boat sank in the middle of the river in the Volga region near the village of Syukeyevo in the Kansko-Ustinovsky district of the Republic of Tatarstan on Sunday afternoon.
The double-deck ship was built in Czechoslovakia in 1955 and is designed for 140 passengers, according to the site of the company that owns it.
