A ferry carrying nearly 400 passengers capsized in a storm in Bangladesh, and police said they feared that many were dead.
As many as 100 people were reported to have swum to shore or were picked up by other boats after the triple-deck MV Salahuddin went down in the Meghna River, said local Police Chief Bakhtiar Alam. Two bodies were found.
The ferry sank nearly two hours into the trip from Dhaka, the capital, to Patuakhali, 95 miles south.
