Egyptian ferry - WTF?

[stackpole]

This Egyptian ferry.

It seems that the crew discovered a fire down below, tried to put it out by hosing sea-water at it, the boat naturally started sinking, the crew then tell the passengers that everything was all right to keep them quiet, while simultaneously sneaking the captain and many of themselves away in the few lifeboats.

That is class!

I had no idea that New Labour crewed ferries.

Apparently

In space shuttle terms it was god punishing people.

I expect to see the same morons who were calling for the beheading of people for publishing cartoons of 'the prophet muhammed' whatever that means to them, now demonstrating against the same for allowing so many people to drown on their way back from a religious festival to celebrate the same.

Or.. no. It wont happen. Lets just expect them them to blame the west for it.

Perhaps they could also arrange it so that so many of them descend on a 'religious' place such as mecca (deliberately lower case as always), that they end up killing each other. And the funny thing is, they dont even need explosives.. they have around 300 suicide cattle each year already.

All hamas need to do is to declare that every muslim sheep should migrate to Tel Aviv on an annual pilgramage, and jobs a good'un.

There was a local yokel on the news last night, receiving news that a 5 year old boy had been found alive. He was travelling with his mother, father, brother and sister, who were all missing, presumed dead. Desperately sad stuff.

Said yokel then began praising God and told the reporter that God had obviously saved the child through a miracle for a divine purpose, God is great, and so on. Perhaps I am naiive, but couldn't it be the case that God didn't save the rest of the family for some other purpose?

God saved the captain as well.

Really?

God saved the captain as well.

See the initial post, or is this a case of god helps those who help themselves?
That's quite useful then, yes save yourself and give the credit to god, but **** up (or be f*cked up by someone else's action or inaction) and you're on your own.

Well, He does move in mysterious ways.
