This is such a tragedy, and it likely could have been prevented, in several ways. Proper maintenance of the boat, a competent ship captain, who makes sure his boat is properly equipped with safety vests, and more. Heads should roll. Top brass needs to be fired and they need to be made to suffer greatly. 

 

What will the eventual death toll be?
