침몰 유람선 허블레아니 13일 만에 수면 위로 드러나<br /><br />We begin with the latest on the tourist boat that sank last month in Budapest, killing around two dozen South Koreans.<br />Crews have managed to raise the boat to the the surface of the Danube, and more bodies have been recovered from inside.<br />Let's now connect with Arirang's Ko Roon-hee for the details.<br />Roon-hee, fill us in.<br />Sure.<br />Work to salvage the boat is underway... as is a search operation. <br />And as you can see from the video footage, most of the boat is visible on the water's surface now.<br />The authorities, including Hungary's Counter Terrorism Centre, started raising it at around 7-AM local time.<br /> And more importantly, during the process, more bodies have been found in the wreckage.<br />As of 7:45 AM, one body had been found, believed to be the Hungarian captain.<br />And South Korean news outlets are reporting that three South Korean bodies were found on the boat as well...and the identification process is underway.<br />One is believed to be a child.<br />So the previously announced numbers of deaths and casualties are likely to change in the hours to come.<br />A total of 35 people were on the boat that day. <br />7 of them survived, and the rest are dead or missing.<br />With the bodies newly found on the boat, the death toll is now raised to 24...with 4 still missing. <br />And I do want to point out the salvage operation itself is taking longer than expected.<br />It was temporarily paused earlier in the day, because unexpected damage was found on the boat's stern.<br />So they had to attach an additional cable.<br />The boat sank on May 29th almost immediately after a cruise ship hit it from behind while passing under Budapest's Margit Bridge.<br /> It seems like the salvage operation over in Hungary will continue.<br />Any announcement from the South Korean government?<br />Sure. <br />Seoul's foreign ministry said on Tuesday that officials will try their best to find all the missing people. <br />The ministry said... that the work to salvage the boat is focused on preventing bodies from being swept away. <br />Officials say Korea has requested that the Hungarian authorities thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident and punish the person responsible. <br />According to Reuters, the captain of the cruise liner, a 64-year-old Ukrainian, is being held as a suspect.<br />His lawyers said he is devastated but that he did nothing wrong.<br />That's all I have at this hour. <br />
