Ferry capsize kills 72 in Iraq's Mosul: medics
MOSUL - At least 79 people died when an overloaded ferry carrying families on an outing sank in the Tigris river in Mosul in northern Iraq, medical sources told Reuters on Thursday.
Five ferry workers were arrested after late on Thursday, security sources said. Rescue workers were still looking for missing passengers. “I saw women and children waving with their hands begging for help but no one was there to rescue them. I don’t know how to swim. I couldn’t help. I feel guilty. I watched people drown.”
