2014年CRI 亚航飞机失联搜救尚无线索 意渡轮失火数百人待救(在线收听

 

Hours of searching have failed to locate the AirAsia flight that went missing en route from Indonesia to Singapore with 162 people on board.

The air search was suspended as night fell and is to resume this morning.

Some ships continued to comb the area near Belitung island in the Java Sea overnight.

Over 100 distraught relatives of passengers from the missing airbus hunkered down at a makeshift crisis center at the Surabaya airport, waiting anxiously for news.

Flight QZ8501, an Airbus A320-200, disappeared over the Java Sea an hour into its flight from Surabaya in eastern Java to Singapore.

Bad weather was reported in the area but no distress call was made.

One man has been confirmed dead and several others injured after an Italian-flagged ferry caught fire off the coast of the Greek island of Corfu on Sunday.

The Italian Navy said 190 of the 478 people on the ferry had evacuated from the ship by late Sunday night.

Most were airlifted by helicopter to other merchant vessels sailing nearby.

The Greek Shipping Minister says the fire now appears to be partly under control and says the ship will be towed to Italy.

Italian and Greek rescue crews have been battling gale-force winds and massive waves as they struggle to evacuate the burning ferry.

The cause of the fire is not known at this time.
