Langkawi Ferry sinks by Sofian Zack on 23 Sep 2010, 11:49 pm

Hmmm: Discovering the leak at 9.30 p.m. on Monday. Sinking at 7.30 a.m. next morning. 10 hours in-between.
I saw no comment of an extraordinary collision and normally, a commercial ship has bilge pumps that cope with small leaks easily.
One million Ringit of damage. I wonder, what the insurance company comments.
I also wonder how the 'workers' spent the night...
And I further wonder if there are alternatives to get on and off Langkawi (airway?, rowing boat?, bomoh?)

My friend you are asking muchto many questions :-) by Mark on 28 Sep 2010, 11:55 am

and missed the obvious one:
Was this a promotional act to advertise the bridge to perlis ? Just joking... lol

Ah ja: 25 tons displace 25,000 liters (fresh water.
This is required to make the boat sink. Mathematics: 25,000 liters in 10 hours makes 2,500 liters in 1 hour, makes 41.66 liters per minute. My (dead) grandmother can bail that.
Is my calculation incorrect?
1 Million Ringit in 10 hours will now be 1666.xx Ringit per minute. Mates: if it happens again - call me and I come with my bucket --- for half the price :D

Mark, your bridge gave me the vision of a ... "Stairway to Heaven"
emm
or a "Highway to... where ever"
(I know that I missed the topic now)

Well Hakim, I think some people are a little bit confused by your comment. But I know exactly what you mean. We have more in common as I thought.
