An aerial survey of the waters where a ferry overturned during a typhoon shows only bodies floating in the waters and no additional survivors.More than 800 people remain missing from Saturday's tragedy and friends and relatives of the victims have been passing the time by posting pictures and information about their loved ones.They are also hoping and praying for miracles.The tip of the ferry is still jutting from the water some 500 yards from shore.However, rough waters prevented rescue crews from getting too close until Tuesday.About 50 people did survive and they say the ship listed too quickly for many to put on life jackets or escape.Relatives of the victims have begun asking why the ship was even allowed to sail on its 20 hour trip with a powerful typhoon approaching.The government has since ordered the company to suspend all of its services during the investigation, it also wants to check its other ships for seaworthiness. ___ ___, The Associated Press.
