TEHRAN, Jun 3 - Hungarian officials say exploratory dives have begun in the Danube River in attempts to recover any bodies still in the sightseeing boat that sank last week carrying Korean tourists.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Janos Hajdu, head of Hungary's Counter-Terrorism Center, says that the river's speed has slowed slightly but it is still very hard for divers to move in it.
He added that Hungarian divers aren't allowed to enter the sunken boat.
Twenty-one of the 35 people aboard are still missing, with seven confirmed deal and seven rescued.
The Hableany (Mermaid) collided Wednesday night with a large river cruise ship at Budapest's Margit Bridge, capsized and sank in about seven seconds.
Hajdu said the wreckage was located nine meters (29 ½ feet) deep, about 3 meters (9 feet 10 inches) lower that previously reported by the government.
Hajdu added that a floating crane able to lift 200 tons and which would be able to hoist the boat out of the water is expected at the scene within days.
