Another Superferry accident, but this one with a happier ending...a dozen deaths, but 900 saved...
a loud "Bang" and then the ferry started to tilt...in calm waters...
luckily, nearby civilian ships
and the Philippine navy were there to help evacuate and rescue passengers
US Navy sent in one support vessel with medics too.
ah, but no terrorism here, folks, just move along...
Supan ruled out a terrorist attack as the cause of the disaster, similar to the February 2004 assault carried out by the Abu Sayyaf bandit group on SuperFerry 14 that killed 116 people aboard.
another theory is that a container wasn't tied down and jolted into the side of the vessel...
