Rescue workers say hopes are fading of finding more survivors after a ferry 862 people onboard sank in furious seas and high winds on Saturday in the Philippines.
Around 40 people have made it to shore, although some are survivors of fishing vessels that also sank off Sibuyan Island during Typhoon Fengshen. 35 bodies have been found so far. Divers will cut open the Princess of Stars on Tuesday. The ferry is resting upside down with the tip of its bow above water.
