    Default 800 Dead in Capsized Ferry.

    MANILA, Philippines - Divers managed to get inside an upside-down ferry Tuesday but found only bodies and no survivors three days after the vessel capsized during a powerful typhoon with more than 800 people aboard, officials said.

    My question is why were they sailing in a typhoon? Regardless of the place they live in, its common sense to not sail such a giant vessel in a storm. Anyone else think something might be up.

    This reminds me of the ferry that sunk in the Baltic sea, and the huge cover up about Russian arms being aboard, then the government filled the entire area of the sinking full of concrete.
