But the chaos deepens: the official manifest listed 116 passengers and 17 crew, yet only 35 of 67 survivors were on it—32 “ghost passengers” made it out. And the captain and an engineer are in custody after testing positive for drugs. The government vows a full probe into how this ferry capsized. The investigation is just beginning.
