And since only one third of Polish actually believed there was a possibility that their president had been assassinated, that means two third of Poland already fell to Russia!! Quickly, rebuild the Berlin wall to stop the Russians before it's too late!!! Edit: oh wait i thought this is the silly news thread

Hopefully not many people lost but considering that the ship went down and there's still a few hundred unaccounted for... |

ran into a school bus full of high school students and exploded. and now, a ferry sinks with more dead students. my hope & prayer to the survivors. this is also one reason why i hated going on ships. beside my phobia of sharks, drowning is also really terrible way to die.

I know you are most likely joking. But (HYPOTHETICALLY) if a north Korean submarine is able to go to that region where the accident happened, then there is something seriously wrong with the defense of the South.
Condolence to the grieving parents. A whole school district is wrecked by this disaster.

That's why I will never go below deck if it's not an overnight cruise. At least you can jump clear if something goes wrong

The ferry, before it sank, was turned on its side and then became upsidedown. It is entirely possible that most of the missing are still inside the ship, which is why they are trying to cut them out with navy divers.

Unless you tell me that the drill is "put on life jacket and stay below deck". Which is wrong when internationally, it is "seek higher ground in an orderly manner" for big ships like cargo carriers.

That could be worth being sued for criminal negligence causing death. Totally unforgivable. |

Not strictly news, but somewhat relevant.
