World News: Vietnam's Halong Bay boat capsize death toll rises to 38

This is the World Now, bringing you the latest stories from around the globe.

In Vietnam a tourist boat capsized in Ha Long Bay on Saturday leading to at least 38 deaths.

The Wonder Sea, carrying 53 people, mostly Vietnamese families from Hanoi, capsized around 2 PM local time after encountering sudden fierce winds, heavy rain, and lightning.

Ten people were rescued, including a 14-year-old boy who was pulled out from the hull four hours after the capsize. Five people are still missing and search and rescue efforts are still underway.

The storm came on so quickly that passengers had little time to react, even though life vests were available.

In the United States, 30 people were injured, seven critically, when a vehicle drove into a crowd outside a music venue in East Hollywood, Los Angeles, in the early hours of Saturday.

The driver, identified as 29-year-old Fernando Ramirez, was reportedly kicked out of the nightclub minutes before he drove his car into the crowd.

Surveillance footage shows him mounting the sidewalk around 2 AM, first hitting a taco stand, then a valet podium, and finally the waiting crowd.

Ramirez was dragged from the wrecked vehicle, assaulted, and shot before being hospitalized.

Authorities found no evidence indicating that the incident was linked to terrorism or driven by any criminal intentions beyond the driver's intoxicated state.

Police are also searching for the man who shot Ramirez and fled the scene.

On Sunday, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck 144 kilometers east of Russia's Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky city.

The tremors triggered tsunami alerts, which were later lifted.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and U.S. National Tsunami Center issued coastal warnings for Kamchatka, Hawaii, Guam, and American Samoa.

Roughly two hours later, all alerts were officially downgraded and lifted.

There have been no reports of casualties or structural damage, and seismic activity has subsided.

Authorities warn that the Kamchatka Peninsula remains a high-risk seismic zone.

Tech company Astronomer Inc.'s CEO, Andy Byron, resigned on Saturday, after a video surfaced showing him embracing his Chief People Officer during a Coldplay concert.

The incident took place on Wednesday, when Byron and Kristin Cabot appeared on the kiss cam, prompting reactions from Coldplay's Chris Martin, who joked, saying, "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy."

The footage went viral on social media platforms, drawing scrutiny for their conduct, particularly given that both are married.

The company announced Byron's resignation from the CEO role, and Cabot was also reportedly suspended.
