At Least 25 Dead After Ferry Sinks in Bangladesh

Emergency crews recovered at least 25 bodies Monday following the sinking of a passenger ferry in Bangladesh. 

"Most of the bodies were found inside the sunken boat after it was dragged to the bank," said Mustain Billah, Narayanganj district administrator.  The double-decker ferry, carrying more than 50 passengers, was hit by a cargo vessel and immediately sank in the Shitalakshya River, near the capital, Dhaka.  The boat was full of people rushing to leave the city following the announcement of a weeklong nationwide lockdown beginning Monday to handle the recent spike in COVID-19 cases.
