mv princess of the star sunk!

A passenger ship MV Princess of the Stars has sunk off in the waters of Romblon, Philippines on Saturday. Gov't officials said they saw Sulpicio Lines' Princess of the Stars capsized. The ship may have approximately 700 passengers and crews.

It's traveling in the rough seas amid a fury typhoon when the engine failed. Hundreds are feared dead. The typhoon has killed at least 141 people and 255 people are missing, most of them fishermen. The massive ferry which was built to hold about 2,000 people, flipped over about a mile off the shore of Sibuyan Island as typhoon Fengshen pummeled the Philippines.

While it is a tragic accident in its entirety, it could have been avoided. We all know that the Philippines is composed of 7,107 islands and traveling by boat is the most common means of transportation. But why did they permit the boat to sail off risking the lives of 700 people? Is there no more such thing as postponement or cancellation of the travel? What's the role of PAGASA and the Coast Guard. Are they all busy practicing the papaya dance for YouTube upload? How old are the vessel and inter-islands boats? I think the issue is hopeless and the only thing that we can do is pray.

Let's all pray for the deceased, their surviving families and hope for the betterment of the situation. Here's a short prayer to our Blessed Mother.

We turn to you for protection, Holy Mother of God. Listen to our prayers and help us in our needs. Save us from every danger, glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

Allah is no god, allah is evil and a condemning fuck.. made up by former masters to keep the sheeps (you) in the cage.

Believe in a true god without the religous fanatim, thats way better and adds a lot of love .
