SINKING OR FLOATING COFFIN....????


As the Princess of the Stars starts to sail from Manila to Cebu with the approval of the concerned agencies, it was just like a mother giving go signal to his son to go across over the fire with plastic flip flap..... just think WHY.
Imagine a big waves as tall as mountains due to typhoon "Frank" while aboard a big passenger ship. Imagine the yelling, screaming and crying of the frightened children, and even adults. imagine yourself inside MV Princess of the Stars while big waves as tall as mountains battered the said ship. Can you think of having inside the coffin while floating? and is just few minutes, your inside a sinking coffin?

And after that 15 horrifying minutes...... some people cannot forget the hundreds of bodies floating at sea and the cries for help from the victims as the ship keeled over and went under. Children trapped inside wailing before the boat sank.

Four survivors told GMA News that "the ship did not malfunction, but only slowed down its speed as it encountered big waves off the coast of Romblon." One saw many people jump, but "the waves were so big and the rains so strong that few of them could have possibly survived; the crew were so busy saving themselves that they did not care to help the passengers to wear safety vests, and that some of the passengers passed out while children and the elderly failed to wear life vests because they could no longer move when the ship was turning upside down."

YOU, who are you going to blame for the said accident?

Typhoon, shipping company, government agencies.
