One year later…

Nobody wants to be in a deadly, very fatal situation. Of course, not you, me nor them. As much as possible, we try with all our might, to keep away from danger and harm. But no matter how much we strive to be safe, bad or even worse circumstances really happen. We can not discount them because they are inevitable.

The recent ship/vessel that sunk in Romblon is a concrete example of a truly fatal sea disaster. Hundreds of lives were lost, several others are still missing and only a few have survived. Millions of properties were damaged and poses a grave threat to the aquatic resources. What’s more to these damages are the pain and sorrow that the families and loved ones of these victims are suffering of right now. No amount of money or property could replace the lost loved one.

Who should be liable for all of these? Is it the weather bureau for not giving so much precautions? Is it the coast authorities that permitted the ship to travel? Or is it the vessel for sailing despite very bad weather conditions? Well, I do not have an idea because I know for sure nobody wants tragedy. Let’s just blame it on the bad weather.
