By DEREK GATOPOULOS and NICHOLAS PAPHITIS (Associated Press) KALAMATA, Greece (AP) — Rescue ships fanned out Thursday in search of hundreds of migrants feared missing after their overcrowded boat capsized and sank as they tried to reach Europe. At least 78 people died. So far, 104 people who were aboard the fishing boat traveling from Libya to Italy have been rescued, but authorities fear that many more may have been trapped below deck.
