Mourning ceremonies held for victims on ship
DNA samples collected to help identify bodies
Relatives of those who died when a cruise ship capsized in the Yangtze River last Monday mourned for their loved ones on Sunday, the seventh day since the Eastern Star flipped over in a storm with 456 people onboard. Only 14 survivors have been found.
The four-story 2,200-metric-ton ship was on an 11-day trip along China's longest river when it capsized near Jianli, Hubei province, on June 1, soon after encountering extreme, stormy weather. Most of the passengers were senior citizens.
