Death boat accident Phuket above forty

Rescue workers have rediscovered bodies from the water in the vicinity of the Thai island of Phuket on Saturday, where a boat with Chinese tourists capsized and sank earlier this week.

The captain has been charged. He is 'accused of negligence that caused damage and loss of human lives,' a police commander said. Earlier, the police announced that the vessel was not overloaded at the time of the accident.

The rescue workers are assisted by divers from China. Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged the Thai authorities to do everything in their power to find the passengers and to provide good medical assistance.
