Heard that on the news , not good

 

its around 1300 people, ship has capacity of 1400.. but shit thats still terrible


A sister ship of the al-Salam 98 sank in the Red Sea in October after a collision. Two people were killed and 40 injured.

bit worrying...

 

 

Oh dear

 

You'd have thought there would have been more survivors than that. Must have gone down quick.

 

what a strange thing to say,,,,,,,,, im not sure if you mean it sincerly or if you have visions of people on the sinking ship saying

" dont worry love ive seen titanic,,,,,, we got ages before it sinks,,,,,,,, come back to bed and ill have a butchers in the morning sweety"


if you are questioning it may i help to sugest theres a very good chance it sunk quick in bad weather cause no fooker is gonna keep watching TV when there shoes are getting wet on any ferry

 

The thing that strikes me as interesting is that it sunk mid journey (approx) very few people survived, and those that did were probably on the open decks (mezzanine). From the tv pictures that i have seen of the Helicopters looking for survivers it did not seem that rough relative to what one would consider rough,

It might have made a sunden movement and suffered from Free surface effect but then there would of had to have been equipment faliure for that to happen or other shipping around which made it alter course but that can surely be ruled out because they media would have said and the other vessels would have reported it.

Will be interesting to see the alledge cause
