It's sad to hear about disaster like this happens on the heels of the Korean ferry incident. However, I'm glad that this accident was caused by a natural event. I hope China has learned something from the botched rescue effort in Korea and manage to save as many people as they can. Incidents like this reminded me of a similar ferry accident that happened a few years ago in the Philippines and India. In all, the common thread that runs through all these incidents is that fact that most of the passengers are poor civilians who lost their lives because the ferry company decided that they would make more money by tossing safety regulations out the window.
