Number of missing may change, says coast guardpublished at 01:23 BST01:23 BST There are still dozens of people missing after the ferry fire, but those figures could change, a coast guard captain told a local radio station, AFP reports. “According to the data we have now on those rescued and the victims, we still have 87 people missing,” Captain Noemí Cayabyab told a local radio station on Thursday. “To be clear, this is real-time data and may change as our search and rescue operations are ongoing,” he continued, adding that the ship had 134 passengers and crew listed, as quoted by AFP. Of the people rescued, 38 were passengers and four crew members, Cayabyab said, as reported by AFP. “However, we have not yet been able to obtain information from the rescued people because we have not been able to talk to them,” he said.
