z42 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Truly truly awful for those killed in this appallingly negligent and wholly preventable incident. I very much doubt sny lessons will be learned. Just some mere scapegoating rather than changes for the better i suspect. RIP to all those who sadly never made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just1Voice Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 This ferry was rated for a capacity of 50, but had over 100 on board. The almighty baht strikes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toknarok Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 It must have been awful for them. Watch it again and see if you can spot ANYONE wearing a lifejacket. I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The almighty baht strikes again. That's a big boat, licensed to carry only 50?? Maybe 150 In my view. Think about how many the Chayo Phraya river ferries carry, 150+ at a guess, and nowhere near the size of this vessel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't. I'm sure It's not a requirement to wear a life jacket for the duration. There was little time to don them after the collision. Explained.
