Boat Capsizes on Yangtze River, Five Missing

A boat capsized Wednesday morning near a dock of Nantong Section of the Yangtze River, China's longest river, leaving five people missing.

The source with Nantong Maritime Safety Administration said, a Singapore-flagged cargo ship hit the dock and made a boat anchoring at the dock capsized, when the accident took place at around 7:20 AM Wednesday.

Ten people on board the boat fell into the river, only five rescued. Identities of the five missing are still unknown.

They are likely to be washed away by torrents, but the water temperature of Yangtze River is high, so there are chances of survival for them, said a rescuer.
