Tragic. At least 8 dead and 24 still missing. Poor souls.

So very sad. They have announced 3 days of national mourning.

Awful thing, by some accounts the captain was one of the first off the ship

It would appear the social media in the South is vile and disgusting. BBC news interviewed Cyprus Mail yesterday. needless to say, No one from this side was interviewed and BBC had to bring something that occurred 50 years ago into the report. BBC are so biased. GBN are reporting it this morning but not verbally, just in the info at the bottom of the screen.

Makes me sick that anyone can be so evil when it comes to a tragedy like this. Why news channels would politicise things at a time like this is beyond me.
