Two articles about the Kazangula ferry capsizing.

[randomness]

This one has a picture of the overturned truck, while this says that the authorities have given up searching for the remaining bodies.

The cynic in me is sure that if any Westerners (like me, for instance) had been on the ferry at the time it capsized, it wouldn't have been so hard to find news reports to link to.

Is this feed by email? I'm curious as to what it looks like and how to subscribe.

You're right about the attitude, too.

No such luck, it's on paper. Poke me if you're around sometime and I'll show you a copy. (When are you back, anyway? Are you giving winter in New England a complete miss?) Anyway, I suspect you'd find it fascinating; I know I do. The world maritime scene is a really funky place; the ultimate collision of the not-so-invisible hand of the market and mother nature.
