Hopes of finding more survivors from the capsized cruise ship in China's Yangtze river were dashed as its submerged hull was lifted on Friday, with the death toll crossing 100 and fate of over 250 still unknown in what could be the country's worst maritime tragedy in 70 years. Rescue teams have completely righted the Eastern Star after an overnight risky operation, three days after the capsize, and are now trying to drain water from inside the hull in an attempt to re-float and lift it out of the river. The four-storey cruise ship, carrying 456 Chinese holiday-makers mostly elderly, sank within two minutes, with merely 14 survivors pulled out of the murky waters of Asia's longest river, the Yangtze. As many as 103 people have been confirmed dead, with 26 bodies pulled out on Friday.
