The Norman Atlantic

The death toll from the fire on the ferry “Norman Atlantic” between Greece and Italy has risen to ten, but it is feared that many more people have been killed.

As of right now, all passengers have left the ship. The captain left along with some people from the Italian Navy left at 14.50 pm, they were investigating a possible cause of the fire. Dozens of people are still missing, and it’s unclear where they are. Media in Southern European countries mentions least 38 missing.

Strong winds, rain and hefty smoke hampered the rescue operation. The fire is under control.
Little is known about the cause of the fire. The ferry was traveling from Patras in Greece to Ancona in Italy.


Now get this…

The ferry "Norman Atlantic" media reports indicate that massive security flaws have been discovered by an inspection over a week ago. Defective fire doors, and defects in lifesaving systems, are among the security flaws. I saw the list and there’s more, much more!


Update follows!
