Divers and other rescue workers battled into the night Tuesday to reach survivors from a tourist-filled cruise ship that capsized with 456 people on board during a freak tornado on China's Yangtze River.

After what could become the worst ferry disaster in China in nearly 70 years, more than 110 rescue boats and six helicopters battled wind, rain and darkness as they scoured the river for survivors. They were joined by more than 180 navy divers, who rushed to the scene in central Hubei province.
