    A ferry carrying 251 people has capsized in stormy seas off the east coast of the Philippines, the coastguard says.

    A spokesman said a number of casualties had been reported. Huge waves are said to have caused the boat to overturn.

    But hey...it's the Philippines.

    I'd say you've been waiting for this thread for a while. I'm glad it arrived for you so you can now get on with your day.

    What are you getting at? Your news has a higher human injury count, so it trumps the Australia attack? This is a deliberate attack and that was an accident from what I can see. Get over yourself.

    Got some news alerts about this.

    Yes, we hope no one dies and injuries are not permanent, but from some reports it talks of people being thrown into the air.

    None of us will ever understand the mindset of a person or people who do this. For most the thought of even doing this accidentally is a most horrific thing, to do it deliberately makes one think how detached these people are from the vast majority of people on the planet who are good people.
    A tiny, tiny minority of people who have no good in their heart can do so much damage to a lot of people and see it as some achievement.
    You would wonder how anyone could become so detached from the human race, so detached from their own loved ones, they must be as most people think about others and the loved ones of others when something bad happens.
    It is just terribly sad in so many ways that this detachment exists and a selfishness and evilness exists that blinds people from what is good.
    We can only hope for the best for the people affected and wish them and their families the best.

    Is there any point in dumping a news story that is on every single online news site on AH? Yet another 'is it / isn't it' terrorist attack or crazy drunk thread.

    I was in Melbourne at the time although did not witness it. Think my brother was closer. Apparently car was doing high speed at least above 80km and no doubt it was deliberate. A good few pedestrian streets around Sydney and Melbourne have had concrete bollards installed recently and both have quite a high police presence on alert. Thats the world we are living in nowadays unfortunately.

    Bob here doesn't give two sh#ts about the victims of the Philippine' s sinking, that his is the first reply to this thread is a clear indicator that he, like a vocal number on here, are on high alert for these incidents so that they can immediately downplay their impact.

    My thoughts are with the victims, here's hoping they each pull through.

    The victims in Melbourne or in the Philippines?

    Indeed..I am on high alert..scouring boards and other forums so I can make sure my agenda of downplaying such incidents is fulfilled. Take off the tinfoil hat.

    Just showing where his true loyalty lies. Islam always comes before nation or in this case basic gratitude.
