SelectPlusDivers Find No Survivors From Overturned FerryDivers Find No Survivors From Overturned FerryThe Associated PressRelatives of passengers missing after their ferry capsized off the coast of the Philippines during Typhoon Fengshen, gathered with the pictures of their loved ones at Philippine Coast Guard headquarter in Cebu City, hoping for a miracle. (June 24)It is a grim sight.An aerial survey of the waters where a ferry overturned during a typhoon shows only bodies floating in the waters and no additional survivors.More than 800 people remain missing from Saturday's tragedy and friends and relatives of the victims have been passing the time by posting pictures and information about their loved ones.They are also hoping and praying for miracles.The tip of the ferry is still jutting from the water some 500 yards from shore.However, rough waters prevented rescue crews from getting too close until Tuesday.About 50 people did survive and they say the ship listed too quickly for many to put on life jackets or escape.Relatives of the victims have begun asking why the ship was even allowed to sail on its 20 hour trip with a powerful typhoon approaching.The government has since ordered the company to suspend all of its services during the investigation, it also wants to check its other ships for seaworthiness. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

hmmmmmmmmmm????????? someone explain to me why they didn't see this weather phenomena coming ? if the storm was already underway south, why did they sail south?????? and the storm was already noted heading north????? why didn't the company just delay the sail until the storm pass? What a sad state of affairs to place this much emphases on a schedule that could have been delayed!
