On Monday night, a passenger ferry and a smaller boat collided near Lamma Island, off the southwestern coast of Hong Kong, causing the smaller vessel to partially sink and killing 38 holiday revelers, including five children. The large passenger ferry, called the Sea Smooth, was a company boat taking more than 120 employees of Hongkong Electric Co. and their family members to Victoria Harbor to view fireworks celebrating the mid-autumn festival and China's National Day. Hong Kong police have launched an investigation, arresting six crew members from both vessels today.[22 photos] 周一晚，在南丫岛附近，一艘驶离香港西南海岸的渡轮与一艘小客船相撞，导致客船局部下沉，船上38名度假者溺水而亡其中包括5名儿童。名为海泰的大型渡轮是一艘公司专用客艇，它承载着120多名香港电器公司员工及其家属前往维多利亚港去观看欢度中秋节和国庆节的烟火。今天，香港警方从俩搜船中逮捕了六名机组人员展开调查。
