Passengers hang on the port side of the "SuperFerry 9" before it sank in the coast off Zamboanga del Norte in southern Philippines September 6, 2009. More than 800 people were plucked from the sinking vessel in the southern Philippines on Sunday, but at least three were killed and 88 remained unaccounted for, the coastguard said.
A passenger said he felt the ferry tilting at about midnight but was assured by a crewman that everything was well. About two hours later, he was roused from sleep by the sound of crashing cargo below his cabin. There were reports the 7,268-ton vessel listed to the right because of a hole in the hull.
Our hearts go out to these people who are distressed and sad because of loss.
