BUDAPEST - A body was pulled from the Danube more than 100 km downstream from Budapest, officials said on Monday, the first apparent victim recovered since the night of a boat crash presumed to have killed 28 people.
The Mermaid capsized after being struck from behind by a large cruise liner near a bridge in the center of Budapest. Many of the bodies are believed to still be trapped inside the wreck, which divers have not been able to reach since the accident because of high flood waters and strong currents. South Korea sent its own recovery team which joined the operation on Monday.
“The point of entry is on the barge located at the scene of the accident,” the South Korean rescue team said in a statement. “Today, diving is not about attempting to enter the ship, but for understanding the situation first.” One heavy diver was able to descend to the riverbed, leave the ladder and begin to explore the wreck from the outside, Hajdu said, adding that entering it was potentially lethal and banned.
