jon: just in to the fox newsroom, a new video of the rescue operation continuing, looking for survivors in that capsized ferry. the thing turned over, sank very quickly apparently, throwing hundreds of people in the water. and at last report, more than 200 were still missing. the ferry primarily was carrying high school students on an excursion to an island just off the coast of the main land. but it didn t reach the island. there are suggestions that it may have hit something underwater but whatever the cause, this thing went down very quickly and a lot of people are still missing. those who were rescued described being in very, very cold waters. the kind of water you can only survive for about 90 minutes before hypothermia sets in and you simply expire. at any rate the search is going on.
