Some still alive inside capsized ship on China’s Yangtze River, five bodies recovered

Five bodies had been recovered since the ship capsized in a storm late on Monday, state media said.

Only about a dozen people had been rescued so far from the four-decked tourist boat amid confusing reports about how many had been saved.

The microblog of the official People’s Daily newspaper said some passengers were still inside the Eastern Star, while the official Xinhua news agency said rescuers could hear people calling for help from inside the four-deck ship.
