Ferry fire off Manila leaves 14 dead and 152 rescued
A ferry named Kimelody Cristy caught fire 50 miles southwest of Manila before dawn, killing at least 14 and leaving others missing. Coast Guard officials said 152 were rescued from 500 tons, with 102 passengers and 41 crew listed on the manifest. Survivors reported chaos as the blaze spread from a canteen through the vessel. A separate report notes satellite images of wreckage from a Russian Tupolev-154 missing since last Thursday, with authorities uncertain about survivors amid conflicting agency claims.
