A real tragedy.

If I was on a ferry that was listing, no way would I be inside, I'd be out on the deck ready to get off within seconds. It reminds me of when people in the Twin Towers were told to stay put! :Erm:

If disaster strikes, get away from it as quickly as possible, that is supposed to be natural human instinct.

These RORO ferries still appear to be a menace as far as passenger safety goes...despite lessons supposedly having been learned from similar past disasters. :NoNo:
