New Facts: Ünal Üstel Reports Eight Dead, 18 Missing
A passenger ferry capsized shortly after leaving Kyrenia on Sunday, killing at least eight people. Eighteen others are still missing. Some updates put the number of missing closer to 20, and one count listed 17.
The high-speed catamaran Filo Jet was headed to the Turkish port of Tasucu when it began taking on water and sank about four nautical miles off Kyrenia. The ship had 259 passengers and eight crew on board.
A Turkish deep-sea rescue vessel, TCG Isin, was sent to help the search and to locate the ship’s data recorder about 514 meters down. The captain and seven crew members were detained as an investigation began.
