The Eastern Star's top-deck cabins with smashed blue roofs jutted out of gray water Friday after Chinese disaster teams righted the capsized river cruiser to ease the search for more than 340 people still missing. So far, 97 bodies have been found.

Crews worked on draining water from the ship, which was still mostly submerged in the Yangtze River, as the focus shifted from finding survivors to retrieving bodies trapped in the vessel after it capsized suddenly during a storm Monday night on the trip from Nanjing to Chongqing.

Chinese authorities have attributed the accident to sudden high winds just before 9:30 p.m., but also have placed the surviving captain and first engineer under police custody. Passengers' relatives have raised questions about whether the boat should have continued on after the storm started and despite a weather warning earlier in the evening. (AP)
