My heart goes out to the families and friends of the 32 people drowned in this terrible event and we here at Moria's Place continue to send healing and support to them via the 'Healing Place' but I still cannot forget the miracle that has taken place that has resulted in there being only 32 fatalities during this terrible event. Let us not forget that this is a case where a ship with over four thousand passengers went down, at night, and the captain and most of the crew deserted their posts and left the majority to fend for themselves, over half the lifeboats were pinned down or un-launchable and it was freezing cold and pitch-black in the water that most of the passengers were forced to jump into.
In my book, the loss of only 32 souls is a miracle, as is the recovery today of another 8 bodies, meaning that 25 of those families will have been able to achieve some measure of closure of this terrible event (though I’m certain they will still wait for the full closure of seeing the Captain and crew members bought to book for their cowardice and incompetence!)
