One hundred bodies have been raised from the wreck of the cruise ship that sank Sunday on the Volga River since the early research by a team of divers, said Wednesday an official at the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations. Twenty-nine of 208 passengers were still missing the call. The authorities said 79 people were rescued by a boat passing in the vicinity of the wreck. The Bulgaria, building double-deck, sank within minutes Sunday to three kilometers from shore.
