Tearful relatives await news from Vietnam wreck rescue

Tourist boat 'Wonder Sea' was carrying 53, including more than 20 children

- 

Relatives anxiously sat beside ambulances on the wharf of one of Vietnam’s most popular tourist sites yesterday, waiting for news of loved ones who were on a tourist boat that capsized, killing dozens.

Fruits and flowers were laid on the coast for the at least 37 killed in the wreckage on Saturday in what some called Ha Long Bay’s worst disaster.

As rescuers worked into yesterday morning to salvage the sunken boat, a handful of people were still missing.
