Re: Ferry Capsize Kills Nearly 80 in Iraq's Mosul
(Reuters) - At least 79 people died when an overloaded ferry carrying families on an outing sank in the Tigris river in Mosul in northern Iraq, medical sources told Reuters on Thursday. Most of the casualties on the ferry were women and children who could not swim, said the head of Mosul's Civil Defence Authority Husam Khalil. He said the ferry had been loaded to several times its capacity. "It can normally carry 50 people. There were 250 on board before the incident," he said. Five ferry workers were arrested after late on Thursday, security sources said. Rescue workers were still looking for missing passengers. The boat was ferrying people to a man-made island used as a recreational area by families, according to one witness. "I was standing near the river back when suddenly the ferry started to tilt left and right, and passengers began screaming before it capsized," said Mohamed Masoud, a local civil servant. |

Re: Ferry Capsize Kills Nearly 80 in Iraq's Mosul
I feel no sorrow or joy watching that "boat" capsize. Its like watching a swarm of fire ants on a leaf sinking in a pond. Maybe if they weren't degenerates stuck in the 7th Century and didn't breed and act like bugs I would have some feelings for these people. That capsize was impressive, the boat's side looked like a giant claw clamping down like a giant excavator on an amusement ride to Hell...

Re: Ferry Capsize Kills Nearly 80 in Iraq's Mosul
It was a right wing extremist Trump-supporting ferry. Before carrying out this atrocity, it also wrote a manifesto about being sick and tired of being trod upon by Muslims. Authorities are warning ISPs to take down any copies of this video and are warning citizens that anyone in possession of this video will be charged with inciting hate!!! |

Good riddance! Maybe if these goat herding idiots would follow capacity instructions they wouldn’t have all died.
