Who could have foreseen it?
A tourist boat in India left at least twenty-two of its around fifty passengers dead when it capsized at night. The double-decker boat was twofold over its capacity.
Many of the passengers were not wearing life jackets at the time of the incident, survivors told local media.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the mishap.
