Default Only 50 People Survived Capsized Ferry

I don't know if you guys heard about that ferry that capsized on Saturday. There wre 862 people on board. Only 50 of them survived. Most of the 50 that survived were on a single inflatable life-raft out in treacherous waters for 22 hours but managed to survive. The other 800 or so people did not make it.

Please....just keep it to good news.

Bad news is easy to find.


For instance.......I help old people all the time in everyday situations. Do you ever see a film crew rush out to report---on the spot?

No.

It will "blink" 2 or 3 times after the first 2 paragraphs and then start over.

But after that it will work.
