    This is just tragic - how young most of them were, the messages sent, the late evacuation orders.

    And the captain survived...I noticed he kept his face covered when he spoke to the media.

    Yeah, reports are that he waited 30 minutes until possibly ordering an evacuation.

    If I'm in a ship in the future and something happens, I'm going for the life jacket and boat no matter what they say or don't say.

    I've been avoiding this story today because I knew it'd be too horrible to even think about... and it really is

    CNN: "25 Dead, About 270 missing in Ferry Disaster." Um, no, pretty sure by this point there are 295 dead. It's been 2 days. They all drowned. The media is ridiculous.

    This whole thing is a huge tragedy. Can you imagine being one of those parents or anybody else that had a loved one on that ferry?

    Have they thought that maybe the ferry hit the missing airliner that they can't find and that is what sunk it. Just a thought.
