The severely overloaded ferry, MV Nyerere, capsized in Lake Victoria in Tanzania on Thursday. The current death toll stands at 209 people. Two days after the capsize, divers rescued an engineer from an apparent air pocket inside the overturned ferry.

The NY Times report that the engineer who was rescued, Alphonce Charahani, was immediately rushed to a medical facility on Ukara island to receive care. Few details on his health have been released, but the authorities described him as being covered in oil when he was found.

The ferry had an official passenger capacity of only 100 people. Some estimates are that it may have been carrying three times that number when it capsized.
