211 Die in Bulgaria river cruise ship sinking in Kuybyshev Reservoir, Kamsko-Ustyinsky District, Tatarstan, Russia. The likely cause of the sinking was portholes that were opened because of the lack of air conditioning on the vessel, which allowed water to enter Bulgaria when the captain attempted to turn the ship during stormy weather.
