Hungarian group heads home after duck boat crash
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Hungarian tourist group has headed home nearly a week after a duck boat accident that killed two of their own in Philadelphia.
The tour boat had 37 people aboard when it was struck by a barge and sank in the Delaware River last week.
Thirteen students and two teachers from Hungary were aboard; two of them drowned.
On Friday, the bodies of 16-year-old Dora Schwendtner and 20-year-old and Szabolcs Prem were recovered from the river.
Jackie Kennedy is youth director of the Marshallton United Methodist Church, which sponsored the group.
She says the departure of the 11 surviving students and the two teachers was bittersweet and emotional.
