Ships capsizes Lampedusa
Permalink  

On Friday, a ship turned over near Lampedusa. The death toll is at 31 with more than 200 survivors rescued. The ship was being followed by military chase planes from Malta when it appeared "unstable." The ship believed to have had 250 people on board before it turned over. Lampedusa has been a refugees's destination for tens of thousands seeking to enter into the European Union countries. These types of ship disasters are becoming all to offen.

Recently there has been many ship disasters. I think those in charge of government should look to new regulations regarding ships to prevent any further tragedies.

So many ships have been sinking recently! I think these countries should look into their manufacturing of ships and see if they can improve their regulations to better ensure the safety of the passangers.
