Guyana’s government is under pressure to explain why a state-run ferry sank over the weekend, killing an estimated 100 people, with officials telling an increasingly frustrated population to await the conclusion of an official investigation.
Authorities said that 76 of the 179 passengers believed to have been aboard the ferry survived the South American nation’s worst maritime disaster on record, and that 53 bodies have been recovered as divers searched for 50 more on Wednesday.
