A ship built for 400 people, modified to carry 1500 (LOL) but stuffed with over 4000 people, with an unqualified derelict crew and a tanker with just as poor of a crew. This is way beyond negligent. It’s so far past negligent it should be considered capital murder.

I was stationed on USS Reeves (CG-24) when this happened. A friend of mine’s, also on the Reeves, wife was on that ferry. She died in the accident. Our home port was Yokosuka Japan and while we were deployed to the Persian Gulf, many of the Wife’s would visit family in the Philippines. So sad.

I disagree.... IT was NOT the lookout that killed 4386 people... it was the greed of the company that put 4000 people on a boat that should only have been carrying 600. The boat would have been much faster with 6 times less passengers and could thus not have collided with the tanker had it been so. The culprit or black sheep is always a lone person, while the real crooks walk free. Disgusting.
-
This one hurts because my cousin died while on crew on another Sulpicio Lines boat that sank and killed 800+ people.
-
Everyone knows about the Titanic, but very few people know about the Doña Paz tragedy, which was like 3 Titanics Sinking in terms of ppl killed.
-
A passenger ship in 1987 HAS NO RADIO to communicate with other ships? Un-f-believable!
-
Ok, I've lived 12yrs in Philippines, I'm RAN (Retd) & yes, this WILL happen again. This was very big ofc. Safety on our island ferries imo varies from 'barely adequate' to 'we're all going to die". Always gather lifejackets. Sulpicio Lines trundled unsafely on after this, until bankruptcy through failing to pay kotong [corruption]. My final Sulpicio voyage was ~2010. We luckily failed to sink. [PS: some pronunciations are dodgy!] ;-)

To often when i was at sea I wondered how many of the cargo ships plodding along had a crew member in the bridge. To often they would take for ever to respond to the radio.

It reminds me of the old proverb, "Train as you will fight for you will fight as you are trained".
-
To be fair Oil Tankers are small stealthy, fast and very hard to notice
-
This is such a tragedy, how the hell have I not heard of it till now
-
I'm afraid this is worsening my phobia of ships and cruises or being anywhere near the ocean and water but I can't stop watching this channel
-
I've lived out here for a decade, it's still talked about . A national tragedy
-
I remember reading a short news brief, of this accident, back when it happened. The article was short on details. I just assumed that being a massively overloaded ferry, that most of he deaths occurred due to the passengers not being able to escape the sinking ship, much like that Korean ferry, only a few years go. Didn't realize, until this video, that burning fuel (from the tanker) surrounded the ferry (on most sides), killing most of those who managed to flee the ship !

I was serving my first year in the USN and 19 years old. For context, the number of people that lost their lives is close to the full complement of a US Navy suppercarrier. Crazy.
-
It's like a drunk driving 18-wheel trucker collided with a bus load of people going to Atlantic City....whose driver was also drunk.
-
This is crazy! That ship was way overcrowded and badly maintained! I feel bad for the children who were brought/dragged along onto the boat of bad decisions! Bad decisions all around! 🤦🏽♀️ May those people rest in peace...🙏🏽
-
This is one tragedy that I am actually well aware of; it disgusts me that such corruption can occur at this scale
-
You can't trust in anything else at sea, except you, your vessel and your crew. I take full command and responsibility for the safety of my vessel.
