This is ugly, but it always is. In awful weather one of the engines failed,with reduced control the ship was quickly overcome. One of the 39 Filipino crew was recovered alive, one dead, 2 Aussies (one the 25yo. onboard vet) are missing,and it seems unlikely there will be more survivors. 6000 cattle destined to be eaten in China are likely shark food already.
The live animal trade is not pretty and neither are the tired ships converted to a stock crate that are used.
Thoughts for the crew and their families.
And now this. He looks to be the sole survivor: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09...w-members-on-ship-capsized-off-japan/12630056
