May 30, 2019 -
Einige südkoreanische Touristen sind tot, noch viele weitere werden vermisst. Das Ausflugsschiff auf der Donau in Budapest wurde von einem größeren Hotelschiff gerammt und ging binnen weniger Sekunden unter. Wenig Hoffnung besteht auf weitere Überlebende, die Donau führt leichtes Hochwasser bei einer Wassertemperatur von 12 Grad und schweren Regenfällen.
