Seven South Korean tourists are known to have been killed and 21 people remain missing. (AFP photo)BUDAPEST: The 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. Strong currents have hampered the search for those missing -- 19 South Koreans and two Hungarians -- preventing divers from reaching the submerged boat. The Sigyn's Ukrainian captain was charged Saturday, a Budapest court official told AFP, but gave no further details. Larger river cruise boats travelling on the Danube between Germany and the Black Sea typically spend several days moored in the capital.
