Zanzibar Ferry Disaster

 My condolences to the families who've lost their loved ones. Pray for the victims.
MV Spice Islander which sank in the disaster
As usual, 'someone big' will do a little speech and say how 'deeply hurt' he is, promise to look into it, then the drama continues. *insert bull rage here*
At least 163 people died when a ferry capsized off the popular tourist archipelago of Zanzibar, and more than 100 people are still missing.The MV Spice Islander, which was travelling between Zanzibar's main island Unguja and Pemba, two of the three islands that make up Zanzibar, left Unguja around 9:00 pm (1800 GMT) and capsized four hours later.No foreigners have so far been reported amongst either the dead or rescued, according to an AFP reporter at the scene.{ source}
A fishing vessel carrying the survivors, yes....the rescue boats were the fishermen's vessels...*sigh*


 Zanzibaris flock on Nungwi resort to await news on the survivors..
