PHILADELPHIA — Coast Guard officials say a body has been recovered from the Delaware River near the site of a collision between an amphibious tour boat and a barge that left two people missing.Coast Guard Petty Officer Crystal Kneen says the body was recovered early Friday near Penn's Landing in Philadelphia.
A duck boat carrying 37 people was struck and sunk by a barge there Wednesday. Two passengers are missing, 16-year-old Dora Schwendtner and 20-year-old Szablcs Prem. They were part of a group of Hungarian teachers and students aboard the boat.
