Salvage crews in Budapest recovered four bodies on Tuesday (June 11) as they slowly lifted the wreck of a boat two weeks after it capsized on the Danube River.
The Mermaid boat sank on May 29 after a large cruise liner hit it from behind under a bridge in the Hungarian capital during heavy rain.
Twenty-six South Korean tourists and two Hungarian crew died in the worst disaster on the river in half a century.
The bodies of all but four of the victims have now been recovered. (Reuters)
