In Hong Kong police have made arrests in connection with the city's worst maritime disaster in decades that left 37 people dead. Scores of people were thrown into the choppy waters of Hong Kong harbor when a pleasure craft collided with a ferry. The smaller boat carrying partygoers sank within minutes while the ferry passengers suffered only minor injuries.
