26 year old passenger ferry flips and sinks near Cypress
I can’t wrap my head around this. Yesterday, a modern passenger cat with 269 people on board flipped over and eventually sank 4 miles into its journey. Living on an island for much of my adolescence, I spent a lot of time on ferry boats.
239 people were rescued, 8 confirmed dead and 22 or 23 are still missing.
This was not an old boat, this was not a 3rd world country where things like this are more common.
Supposedly is was rough and they delayed the trip by an hour. The rescue footage shows maybe a 4’ sea so not that bad.
