Happy belated holidays, everyone. I'm surprised the Cookie Box is so empty.

LIKE A BOSS

What is that?

Do you mean the game? It's called TETRIS... The aim of this game is to fill all the boxes of a line and then you gain points. The player above would take a number of points but......

I woke up this morning and I heard on the news that Norman Atlantic was/is on fire on the way to Ancona... I haven't found any article in english about this accident so I'll try to explain it... The fire started at 4:00 am, 45m away from Corfu. 467 passengers were onboard... At 8:00 am SPIRIT OF PIRAEUS, a cargo ship, arrived at the location of the accident in order to rescue some passengers who had jumped into the sea. At 9:15 am Cruise Europa arrived at the location of the accident in order to help. Each and every car at the outdoor garage of the ship has completelly been destroyed. I read somewhere that the rescue boats of Norman Atlantic couldn't be deployed for some reason but I don't know if that's true. I'll try to keep you up-to-date for further news. I should say that the ship was bought by ANEK LINES almost 10 days ago $:-\$

Update 11:00 am: The ship is probably still on fire and some passengers are on the decks and cannot leave the ship... The cause of the fire may be a truck in the garage. The wind becomes stronger and stronger.

Update 11:25 am: Passengers may be more

Update 11:30 am: A tug is sailing towards the location of the accident in order to tow the ship to the nearest port.

Update 12:15 pm: Reascue boats have been deployed by Cruise Europa but they cannot approach Norman Atlantic beacause of the extreme weather conditions.

Update 12:20 pm: Almost 150 people are in safety now.

A photo from the ship...

That's really bad...

it's also bad with a Asian airlines plane gone missing this morning after a devation from bad weather.

GeoP17 · « **Reply #25432 on:** December 28, 2014, 12:46:58 »

I haven't heard any further news about the plane but a friend of mine has just said me that the ship is probably completely destroyed $:-\$

Does anyone know what might have happened? And why 2014 is the year that all these things happen

GeoP17 · « **Reply #25434 on:** December 28, 2014, 16:13:56 »

I can't answer both of these questions... I'm sorry.

GeoP17 · « **Reply #25435 on:** December 28, 2014, 16:55:16 »

Update: One dead passenger... $:-\$ $:-\$

The Ferry King · « **Reply #25436 on:** December 28, 2014, 17:25:32 »

How many were on board? 400+?
I read something about a people claiming their shoes were literally melting under the extreme heat. That sounds like a horrible experience

GeoP17 · « **Reply #25437 on:** December 28, 2014, 17:52:55 »

That's true! The conditions must be really bad and I'm really afraid to see what will happen next.

The Ferry King · « **Reply #25438 on:** December 29, 2014, 17:12:48 »

7 deaths, that's very tragic

However it does make me glad about the fact that the Captain was the last to leave the ship.

GeoP17 · « **Reply #25439 on:** December 29, 2014, 17:23:52 »

They actually say that almost 40 people are missing... However it is possible that some people may hadn't even been on the ship. I mean they hadn't travelled.

If they were not on the ship they would not have been counted. By EU law they have to send in a manifest with everything on board. It is very expensive if you get this wrong and to get it out by 40 is really bad!
But it is really sad to see all these tragic events to happen

GeoP17 · « **Reply #25441 on:** December 30, 2014, 20:11:23 »

I'm really sorry to say but some of the survivors are illegal immigrants...
