Ferry collision Ferry collision: Philippine Navy and Coast Guard divers retrieve a body from the waters off the coast of Talisay city, Cebu province a day after a passenger ferry MV Thomas of Aquinas collided with a cargo ship Sulpicio Express Siete in central Philippines Saturday. Divers combed through a sunken ferry Saturday to retrieve the bodies of more than 200 people still missing from an overnight collision with a cargo vessel near the central Philippine port of Cebu that sent passengers jumping into the ocean and leaving many others trapped. At least 28 were confirmed dead and hundreds rescued. The captain of the ferry MV Thomas Aquinas, which was approaching the port late Friday, ordered the ship abandoned when it began listing and then sank just minutes after collision with the MV Sulpicio Express, coast guard deputy chief Rear Adm. Luis Tuason said. (AP/Bullit Marquez) (AP/Bullit Marquez)
