  1. That’s very scary. Let’s hope they’re found back safely and in good health but the longer it takes to find them the smaller the chances 😞

  2. This is so sad. The time to “do anything in their power” was after the first report of taking on water. The Coast Guard found nothing by 10 PM 7 hours after it was listing at 3 PM.

    I’m afraid they’ve sunk and everyone has drowned or died of hypothermia by now. May they rest in peace.

    Definitely the tour company is at fault. I frequently use ferries for travel and they constantly cancel trips at the least sign of provocation. So in this case management was probably trying to prioritize that sweet tour income after the two year Covid draught.
