Todays disasters
Turning on the news today two disasters making headlines
1. A airplane with 164 on board has disappeared on a flight between Surabaya and Singapore
2. A Greek ferry with 500+ passengers on board travelling to Italy has suffered an explosion on its car decks and is on fire. 130 passengers are in lifeboats already rescued but remainder are still on board. Ships are steaming towards the ferry but the weather in the area is severe with 10 metre seas and high winds. Ship is on fire and sinking
Not a good festive period for many plus thousands of tourists trapped in their cars in Switzerland due to massive snow falls.
