Reflections on ferry catastrophe, Sun, Jan 11, 2009

A ferry that was travelling from Pare Pare in south Sulawesi to samarinda in East kalimantan sank with only 4 crew surviving. I felt that the it was a big tragedy as many people were believed to be drowned. The disaster was unexpected and i was sorry for the families of the missing people. They must have had a hard time dealing with the sudden loss. I believe authorities would like to further ensure the safety of the ships before sailing into sea.
