MoreAuthorities Arrest Captain of Capsized FerryThe death toll on the South Korean ferry that capsized Wednesday has risen to 32, but officials said the number of dead will almost certainly rise as rescue teams struggle to find hundreds of missing passengers amidst strong currents and rain. Three more bodies were recovered Saturday, the Associated Press reports, but around 270 passengers are still missing from the ferry, a large number of them high school students who were on a school trip to the holiday island of Jeju. The ferry’s captain, Lee Joon-seok, was arrested Saturday on charges of negligence of duty and violation of maritime law.
