Captain charged over deadly Budapest boat accident 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseThe captain of a river cruise ship that collided with a smaller sightseeing vessel was charged Saturday over the accident in Budapest that killed seven South Korean tourists and left 21 missing. A Budapest court official said the Ukrainian captain of the Viking Sigyn had been charged but gave no further details. Strong currents have hampered the search for those missing — 19 South Koreans, the second boat’s Hungarian captain, and one crew member, preventing divers from reaching the submerged boat. Larger river cruise boats traveling on the Danube between Germany and the Black Sea typically spend several days moored in the capital.
