180 missing after Philippine ferry fire

The number of missing in a ferry fire in the Philippines rose to 180 late today when officials realised that some people were counted twice after being rescued.

The official death toll remained at one after scuba divers found no bodies during an initial inspection of the 10,192-ton Superferry 14, which is lying on its right side in shallow waters west of Manila, a day after an explosion sparked a fire that swept through the steel-hulled vessel.
