More than 700 passengers and crew aboard a Philippine ferry that sank in typhoon-battered seas are missing and feared dead.By June 22 evening ,only four people were known to have survived after making it to the shore.Four people aboard the ferry have so far been confirmed dead after their bodies were washed ashore.The Typhoon Fengshen with packing of top winds of 120kmh has lashed the Philippines over the weekend,leaving at least 229 people dead.Fengshen is expected to exit the north of the country by today,heading to Taiwan,where it could make landfall in the next few days,according to weather experts.
Response:
I am utterly worried about the current Typhoon situations,if worst comes to worst,Singapore might be endangered in encountering with a Typhoon as well.I think we should all be prepared to tackle against such events when it really takes place.Nevertheless,i felt sorry for the victims that were killed by the Typhoon and hope that none of this will ever happen again.Hopefully,Taiwan is prepared and have taken precautions against the upcoming typhoon which is heading towards them anytime.We should all make an effort to prevent any more unnecessary loss of lives as prevention is better than cure.
