Four boats capsized in a sudden storm on a river in southwestern China, leaving nine people dead and one missing, state media said. More than 80 people fell into the water when strong winds hit the scenic area in Guizhou province on Sunday afternoon, state broadcaster CCTV said. The boats capsized after a sudden rain and hail storm hit the upper reaches of the Wu River, a tributary of the Yangtze, China’s longest river. In one video shared by state media, a man could be seen performing CPR on another person, while one of the vessels drifted upside down.
