It's up over 300 now.

Sadness for the rest.

That's inexcusable. With today's technology, a ship of that size should NOT have had such a gigantic death toll.

Sad indeed.

You're right but I'm sure they dont have to same kind of standards on safety inspections as we do.

But unfortunatly, it usually takes a disaster such as this to push for better safety.
