Off the coast of Myanmar, about 50 people were killed on March 14 when a ferry carrying 209 people sank in conditions of high waves and poor weather. The ferry was traveling from the town of Taunggok to the city of Sittwe. Residents of Taunggok believe the death toll to be higher, as there would have been many unregistered passengers on board.
Ferry and other marine accidents are common in Myanmar.
