Eastern Star Capsized

[Los_Pepes]

Watching the horrific images coming out of China of the Eastern Star capsized on the Yangtze. What companies charter that boat?

 

Initial reports are that wind made it overturn and all passengers trapped within the hull.

I don't think that any of the western lines use that ship.

 

Terrible tragedy for all those involved and their families.
