A tragic boat accident claimed the lives of 7 people, and 16 more are missing in Budapest. A Danube river tourist boat hit another, larger boat, during a strong storm which limited visibility.

According to the V4 news agency, there were 34 people aboard the ship Hableany, most of them tourists from South Korea. Some of those who were rescued after the accident had to be resuscitated.
Rescuers and paramedics are patrolling the river and looking for the missing passengers. The Interior Minister is coordinating the rescue operation.
