Tragedy at sea, part 4

Such tragic proportions have been media fodder for the past weeks. But the point unfortunately has been sorely missed. Passenger and cargo ship capsized in the midst of a raging storm. Wailing families and relatives. But of course company not owing up and look likes never in its history marred already by sinking ships. Survivors turn up in different shores of different provinces. We are awed by stories of resiliency and will. Styrophor turns out to be edible in times of survival. More trapped inside the capsized ship. Typhoon continued to wreak havoc to agriculture and infrastructure. More wailing.

The previous sea mishaps killed more than that of perhaps any earthquake that rocked the country in this millenia. But of course, the whole spectrum of disaster won't be complete without any mudslinging and finger-pointing. Such adeptness at these skills and never at doing our jobs right. Jeez.
