More bodies found in Qatar ship tragedy
Rescuers recovered five more bodies from a Dubai-based supply ship which sank off the Qatari coast, bringing the number of dead to six.
Five people, including the captain, were rescued after the vessel with 35 people on board sunk near the Doha Channel, about 10 nautical miles off the coast on Tuesday
According to The Peninsula, the ship was carrying 9 crew and 24 employees of HBK Power Cleaning and two caterers working for a company hired by HBK

10 nautical mile off the coast, and crew members so they must know how to swim for GOD sake! a simple phone call and a helicopter would have picked them from the sea!
1- was there in explosion on board that ripped the ship apart and sank immediately (autopsy of the corpses to see if burned, ripped or drawn) or
2- the ship is worthless with no telecommunication so the poor stood in the water and no one knew!
poor victims.
but the truce can be quicly known. the bodies r there, and the ship wreckage is accessible (10 nautical miles off the coast).
mercy be upon their souls
.this s the only reason why i hate travellin
the motion is killing me already even if the boat is still dancin,,,
.same issue with plane

.
another day, another pay
.
May God rest their souls in peace!!!What a tragedy...poor people

Never say never
tragic
"so wag kang nega! BIXOXA!!"
It was built in 1973 and rebuilt in 1991...hmmm. Looks like an older ship...
MANGONE SHIPBUILDING ?????
MAN GONE?
I kinda wonder why it sank, supply vessels like that operate all over the world under considerably worse conditions than Tuesday. I'm sure the investigators will be asking all sorts of questions about maintenance, loading and if hatches were properly closed.

The title is misleading.. It should be Dubai ship tragedy.
May they rest in peace... I hope the owners of the ship have the decency to fully compensate the families for their loss.
As always the poor and the needy suffer. Its a sad world we live in..
HBK should force their contractors to go through Safety training (at least basic safety and sea survival)...
I just hope they can find the rest of the crew... after 48 hours, the chances of finding somebody alive are quite slim...
how sad... their families will see them again back home, but this time, in coffins. the nightmare of all overseas workers' families:-(
usapa na...
AT LEAST WILL THE FAMILIES GET GOOD COMPENSATION FROM THE COMPANY THEY ARE WORKING.
.
.
too expensive for Labour class?
Five people, including the captain= i bet they are crew members
.
.
Most of them were classified as Labour class as printed in the Gulf Times. Nepalis, Bangladeshis and Indians.
May there souls rest in Peace and the families can come terms with their loss, and hope they can get some blood money from the Insurance of the SHIP or HBK?
