1,000 ferry passengers missing in Red Sea - Ship went down amid high seas, bad weather

Relatives flocked to the port of Safaga on Friday to find out if their loved ones were among the 343 people rescued after an aging Egyptian ferry sank in the Red Sea, killing dozens. The Al Salam Boccaccio 98 [owned by El Salam Maritime Transport] was loaded to near capacity with about 1,400 people -- about 1,300 passengers and 100 crew members... At nightfall, about 1,000 people were still unaccounted for... [A] company spokesman said the ship was certified to carry passengers until 2010 and was fully compliant with maintenance regulations.
