Cruise ship sinks in southern China

Shocking footage, from China, of a small cruise ship shortly before it sank during a storm.

In the video, filmed in Guangyuan, Sichuan Province last Saturday, the ship can be seen moving slowly through the choppy sea.

According to local reports, the boat, with 18 tourists on board, finally sank because of the strong wind.

Firefighters and the coast guard were quickly dispatched and they rescued four people but at least a dozen are still missing.

One child among the rescued people died later in the day in hospital.
