Bodies found in Philippine ferry

Rescue divers found bodies but no survivors as they began searching a capsized ferry in the Philippines, navy personnel say. The ferry, carrying more than 800 people, overturned on Saturday in high seas caused by Typhoon Fengshen. Fewer than 40 passengers and crew have been found alive, and officials fear most were trapped inside the vessel. Teams of divers who made their way inside the ship saw no signs of life, officials said. The ship is resting on the sea floor with the tip of its bow above water, just off Sibuyan Island. Divers said it was too dark inside to make out many details, navy spokesman Lt-Col Edgard Arevalo reported.
