Nicht This is not shocking and by any standards no, what’s shocking and really disturbing is that the same ferry that the car plunged from is still in operation and with the ramp hanging waiting for another car to plunge and lose lives. Let the man be, please.

My2cents Foul play!! kicking a fellow when he's on the ground is below you Sir! I expect way more from you

Alexander You might be surprised that not everyone in life has the kind of money you do for funerals and the replacement of such lost property.

Gitonga Everyone including yourself knew the car sunk, rules of insurance is you report within a certain timelime for claim to be valid. You wanted him to lose both family & property? How long does it take to file a claim? Should he have sat & cried for 24hrs all of the 13days?!
