Super ferry 9 tragedy
Last Sunday another sea tragedy happened when a passenger ship sank after tilting for several hours in Siocon Bay near the Zamboanga Peninsula, according to news nine people died in this incident.
News report says, the fate of SuperFerry 9 is not entirely a surprise, since it had already encountered several mishaps in the past.
This May, this same ship was stranded off the coast of Camiguin province for more than 12 hours due to engine problems. In February 2007, the ship conked out southwest of Daog Point on Negros Island on the way from Bacolod City to Iligan City in Mindanao, and had to be hauled to shore by another ship. Engine problems were also blamed for the interruption. In April 2006, the vessel was stranded near Masbate, with a cracked engine cylinder head blamed for the engine trouble. After repairs, the replacement cylinder suffered a leak on the same day while crossing Romblon waters.
Our country have experienced a lot of sea tragedies in the past, how come owners of this shipping companies have taken all those tragedies for granted? How many more lives are they going to take just for the sake of money?
