A Bangladesh ferry capsized and sank during a tropical storm overnight, leaving at least 37 people dead and 150 missing, rescue officials said Sunday. The double-decker ferry MV Maharaj was carrying about 200 people when it capsized Saturday night on the Buriganga River just outside the capital, Dhaka, the officials said on condition of anonymity. "We have so far found 37 bodies and rescuers were looking for dozens still missing,"said Mahbubur Rahman, an area government administrator. "The accident happened in darkness and it's still unclear how many people died or survived," Rahman said, adding that women and children were among the dead.
