Hungarian and South Korean divers have recovered the body of one of the victims of last week’s Danube ship collision from the sunken sightseeing boat, counter-terrorism force TEK, which is in charge of the recovery efforts, said on Monday.
The body was discovered by Hungarian divers on Monday morning. They marked the body before carrying on with their inspection of the condition of the Hableany’s wreckage.
The body was then pulled to the surface by Korean divers.
TEK said rescue teams were working round the clock on “achieving a safe solution to this extraordinary situation”.
The Hableány, carrying 33 South Koreans and two Hungarian crew, collided with a cruise ship and sank last Wednesday. Seven passengers were rescued, eight have been confirmed dead and 20 are still missing. Seven South Korean victims of the Danube crash identified, read more HERE.
