Scores Killed as Ferry Capsizes in Lake Victoria, Tanzania

At least 42 people have died after a ferry capsized on Lake Victoria in Tanzania on Thursday—a toll officials fear could rise to as many 200, Reuters reports.

Estimates indicate that the boat was carrying more than 300 people, but the exact number remains unclear as the ticket machine went down with the vessel, according to the ferry operator.

The boat sank in the afternoon near the dock at Ukerewe district.
