LAKE TANGANYIKA, Democratic Republic of Congo, Safar 23, 1436, Dec 15, 2014, SPA -- An overcrowded ferry capsized in the Democratic Republic of Congo Friday, killing scores of passengers in the most recent incident of its kind, UPI reported. Though initial reports indicated 26 deaths, at least 129 bodies have been pulled from Lake Tanganyika since the sinking occurred two days ago.
