Fishermen assisting rescuers in their search for victims of Friday’s ferry disaster paddle their boat near a life raft that serves as a marker where a passenger ferry sank, in the waters off Talisay, Cebu in central Philippines August 18, 2013. The ferry sank on Friday, killing 34 people and leaving 85 missing, after a collision just outside the central port of Cebu with a cargo vessel owned by a company involved in the world’s worst peacetime maritime disaster nearly 30 years ago.
