FILES-PHILIPPINES-ACCIDENT-FERRY
(FILES) In this picture taken on June 25, 2008, Philippines fishermen look at the overturned hull of the sunken ferry MV 'Princess of the Stars' off Sibuyan Island. A Philippines ferry captain sailed toward the eye of a typhoon in a disastrous error of judgement that left nearly 800 people dead, according to an official probe reported August 27, 2008. The Board of Marine Inquiry into the June 21 tragedy -- the country's worst maritime disaster for 20 years -- blamed the captain and called for the ferry company to be stripped of its franchise. The 23,000-tonne Princess of the Stars, carrying 850 passengers and crew, capsized after hitting a reef off the central island of Sibuyan at the height of Typhoon Fengshen.
