[0:06] A packed ferryboat sinks off the coast
[0:09] of Haiti. Hundreds were on board.
[0:11] They're still counting the survivors and
[0:13] the dead. Fresh controversy for the
[0:16] queen. A report says royal family
[0:18] participation in the funeral procession
[0:21] was argued over right up until the last
[0:23] minute in Kolkata. The masses are paying
[0:26] final respects to Mother Teresa. We'll

[1:28] how many people were on the ferry. Some
[1:30] say as many as 6 or 700. The ferry
[1:33] capsized after leaving the coast of
[1:35] Haiti, bound for the island of Lagonav,
