Hopefully there are more that made it to life boats and can make it until rescue workers get there.

The headline says cruise ship, the caption says ferry.

i applied the same principal when I went to Ethiopia and they tried to put me on a flight with "Ethiopian Airlines"

i told the travel clerk it sounded alot like "african for valu-jet"

I'm pretty sure Salaam means peace in Arabic.

Sure, if by "peace" you really mean "drop your guard infidel so I can cut your ****ing head off with a butterknife."

any boat named peace that crams 1300 people on to it is poorly named.....

It was a bad translation, he meant "piece".

I think they were Ethiopians so they fit quite nicely.

It now appears that they had all simultaneously prayed toward the east causing the vessel to capsize.

Apparently we have the name of the ship slightly wrong...it's Al Salaam Boccaccio.

I wonder if that'd change Dean's mind. :D

So, that would make it "drop your guard infidel so I can cut your ****ing head off with a butterknife Boccaccio" then?
