Comments

  1. Cipher Talon: the sweetest
  2. Miasantosxo: can't believe they'd try to film something from across town
  3. Novaellisxo: worst news always happening in the Philippines somehow. can't even imagine being on a ferry when that breaks out
  4. June: can't believe they showed this "scene" from who-knows-where instead of the actual footage of the ferry on fire. amateur hour
  5. Omar: it's those moments when you realize how many lives can change in an instant. this feels like one of those preventable tragedies sadly
  6. Sanaaziz: unbelievable that this still happens in 2023 - so many lives lost and missing
  7. Dusk Cipher: this still feels like they're going off the initial number of missing and dead isn't that much higher
  8. Ember Shard: I've been following some reports on this disaster, and what bothers me is the usual delays in ferry maintenance, is it standard practice to not inspect these vessels before they hit peak season
  9. Arlo: this isn't even related to the title and there's no photo of a ferry
  10. Wraith Kite: no way were they on board a ferry in Coron? didn't know those vessels had that kind of system in place
  11. Silent Corvid: this isn't even the first one this month I've seen, what's going on with maritime safety in that region?
  12. Elias: correction needed - that's not even a ferry in the pic
  13. Milanv: I know Coron's supposed to be an amazing spot. Hope they get the rescue efforts sorted ASAP
  14. Arlo: this caption has nothing to do with the actual story. can someone confirm what really happened?
  15. Rubyfalkxo: how do these ferries still get approved to sail?
  16. Static Nova: that's just careless - they need to rethink their safety protocols on that route
  17. Ravikwan: I saw that ship being repaired at Coron Harbor last year, thought it looked rickety to me
