I watched on the news somewhat, of the vice principal, and some of the students that survived.
The VP was so saddened that he survived and many of his students didnt, that he couldn't live with that, and thus, he took a walk in the forest and took his own life.

That is sad, he wasn't at fault.

I know big cruise ships have these stabilizers that would stop the ship from capsizing too much, do ferries have that? Some of them or none of them?

So in the event of anything that may look horribly wrong, put your life jacket on, and go to the muster station you were assigned to during the drill.

And should anyone say to go back inside, remind them of your right to be there as was instructed to do so during the safety drill.

We even had a drill on board the catamaran recently up in Cairns, on the way to Fitzroy Island, the instructor showing the life jacket and how you apply it, and where to meet in the event should something happen.

I take these instructions very seriously.

its a ferry I dont think too much is put into lifesaving in these countries... I am waiting to hear the boat was overloaded usually one of the main  problems they have with sinking..

we have very stringent rules in this country..not all are like that.. look at the trains in India where they travel on the roof... can you see that happening here.??
