The many tales of the Queen of the North

mini-subsm.jpgThe story of the BC ferry that wrecked this week is actually a couple thousand stories in one. A huge ferry sank and that's pretty interesting in and of itself especially here where we have similar boats, but then there's the story of how the Coast Guard and a gang of aboriginal island villiagers in fishing boats plucked everyone out of the water safely. Then there was a scramble to make sure that as much oil was contained from the wreck as possible. Now the islanders served by the ferry are freaking about supplies and raiding stores.

And at this very moment crews are working the sunken wreck with submarine robots in the hopes that they can find the last two missing passengers alive.
