Most of the news articles regarding passenger ferries sinking or overturning happen in southeast Asia or Africa and are due to GROSS overloading, as in, ferries with 4 or 5 times the rated weight and persons aboard, so its really not a surprise nor is it unusual. I don't know if its corruption on the part of the Captain or shore personnel or what, but no doubt profit has something to do with it....still..... it happens a lot.

I lived in Key West, Fl for many years and
have heard some strange stories indeed,
in regards to the triangle. I have even
seen things in the ocean I couldn't explain.
Yes I would say its best to take another
means of transporation. That may happen
now that there has been an accident - many
safety regulations should be put into place
on ships and ferrys to protect people not
fill others wallets. .

Cruise ship?

First here is a better source: (sky news sucks and their website is a cluster @#%)

www.news.com.au...

So far 28 people have been rescued.

And it was not a cruise ship, it was a passenger ferry.

Australia is doing most of the search and rescue with coast guard/naval resources being used.

What a silly thing to say, of course they're not built to sink.

In PNG, there are quite often reports of ferries (not cruise liners) sinking due to overloading, poor maintainence, or some other highly preventable reason. There is nothing suspicious or conspiratorial about this or the Cruise liner in Italy, aside from Human stupidity.
